preallocation is done quickly by allocating blocks and marking them as

.BR \-c ", " \-\-collapse\-range
Removes a byte range from a file, without leaving a hole.
The byte range to be collapsed starts at
.I offset
and continues for
.I length
bytes.
At the completion of the operation,
the contents of the file starting at the location
.IR offset + length
will be appended at the location
.IR offset ,
and the file will be
.I length
bytes smaller.
The option
.B \-\-keep\-size
may not be specified for the collapse-range operation.
.sp
Available since Linux 3.15 for ext4 (only for extent-based files) and XFS.
.sp
A filesystem may place limitations on the granularity of the operation, in
order to ensure efficient implementation. Typically, offset and len must be a
multiple of the filesystem logical block size, which varies according to the
filesystem type and configuration. If a filesystem has such a requirement,
the operation will fail with the error EINVAL if this requirement is violated.

.BR \-z ", " \-\-zero\-range
Zeroes space in the byte range starting at
.I offset
and continuing for
.I length
bytes.
Within the specified range, blocks are preallocated for the regions
that span the holes in the file.
After a successful call,
subsequent reads from this range will return zeroes.
.sp
Zeroing is done within the filesystem preferably by converting the
range into unwritten extents. This approach means that the specified
range will not be physically zeroed out on the device (except for
partial blocks at the either end of the range), and I/O is
(otherwise) required only to update metadata.
.sp
Option \fB\-\-keep\-size\fP can be specified to prevent file length
modification.
.sp
Available since Linux 3.14 for ext4 (only for extent-based files) and XFS.
