The original idea to have something like fallocate(1) is from Matej
Cepl -- his mkfile(1) prototype has been originally discussed on
coreutil mailing list. Thanks!

The old KDGHWCLK ioctl was removed from the Linux kernel quite some
time ago. The kd.c source file of hwclock contains fallback code to
handle this, but the fallback code never could have compiled or was
not fixed along other code changes. The Linux kernel nowadays igno-
res the ioctl entirely so removing it unless provided by the kernel
headers, to keep it working on very old kernels, seems the sensible
thing to do, as the comments say m68k only and deprecated (which is
correct AFAICT).

According to pickaxe on gitweb, it was removed in 2002:

The fallocate(1) utility is used to preallocate blocks to a file.

This can be useful for virtual images, database files, testing, etc.
Normally we'd hope that various tools will start using preallocation
internally, but until then such a utility may be useful, and could be
scripted as well.

The original Eric's version is available at:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/2490



This version:
 - checks for fallocate glibc function and kernel syscall
 - does not provide a fallback and does not call posix_fallocate()
 - adds long options
 - uses err.h for errro messages
 - adds NLS support
 - cleanups man page
