GROW - grow a temporary or permanent file.

Syntax:

grow filename [LLinks[+]=number]

Examples:

grow /bilbo
grow temp ll=24
grow /falcon ll+=25

Options:

LLinks+=number
adds at least "number" llinks to the file; thus the "+" implies an increment.
LLinks=number
grows files to a size of at least "number" llinks.

Description:

GROW increases the size of a file. If you do not specify any options, GROW adds one llink to permanent files and doubles the size of temporary files.

The LLinks+=number option adds "number" llinks to permanent files. With temporary files, LLinks+=number adds either 12 llinks plus a multiple of 12 llinks no smaller than "number", or double the file size plus 12 llinks, whichever is greater.

LLinks=number grows a permanent file to "number" llinks, and grows a temp file to 12 plus a multiple of 12 llinks no smaller than "number".
