Hi,

Efraim Flashner <efraim@flashner.co.il> skribis:

A slight improvement would be:

  (catch 'system-error
    (lambda ()
      (truncate-file target size))
    (lambda args
      (if (= ENOENT (system-error-errno args))
          (call-with-output-file target (const #t))
          (apply throw args))))

It’s more verbose but makes the intent clearer.
