(require mzlib/os) | package: compatibility-lib

> procedure (gethostname) → string?

Returns a string for the current machine’s hostname (including its domain).

> procedure (getpid) → exact-integer?

Returns an integer identifying the current process within the operating system.

> procedure (truncate-file file [n-bytes]) → void?
> file : path-string?
> n-bytes : exact-nonnegative-integer? = 0

Truncates or extends the given file so that it is n-bytes long. If the file does not exist, or if the process does not have sufficient privilege to truncate the file, the exn:fail exception is raised.

The truncate-file function is implemented in terms of racket/base’s file-truncate.
