ftruncate64() question?

Greetings.

I am trying to write a program using cygwin that truncates files larger than
4GB to a specific size as part of its functionality.
However, I cannot find a ftruncate64() in the cygwin libraries.  Are there
other alternatives available?

BTW.  Normally I would search the cygwin archives for the answer, but for
the past four weeks or so, when I try to follow links with search results to
www.cygwin.com I just get a screen that tells me it thinks my browser, IE
6.0, is a spambot.
