35 will be resized to be the same size as the snapshot. If the snapshot is
36 smaller than the backing file, the backing file will not be truncated.

38 you can safely truncate it yourself once the commit operation successfully

466 *format*

468 c (char) or i (asm instruction).
469 *size*
470 can be b (8 bits), h (16 bits), w (32 bits) or g (64 bits). On x86,
471 ``h`` or ``w`` can be specified with the ``i`` format to
472 respectively select 16 or 32 bit code instruction size.
