+ * resulting in a file layout that looks like the range that was
+ * removed never existed. As such collapsing a range of a file changes
+ * the size of the file, reducing it by the same length of the range
+ * that has been removed by the operation.
+ *
+ * Different filesystems may implement different limitations on the
+ * granularity of the operation. Most will limit operations to
+ * filesystem block size boundaries, but this boundary may be larger or
+ * smaller depending on the filesystem and/or the configuration of the
+ * filesystem or file.

+ * extent or do whatever which will result in reading zeros from the range
+ * while the range remains allocated for the file.
+ *
+ * This can be also used to preallocate blocks past EOF in the same way as
