Fixed chunkinfo and RAllocatorHelper crashes. Details: * Tidied leak docs * Updated dialog command to workaround text windowserver bug and implement DIALOG_IMPL as an enum option. Also tried to support dismissing the dialog with CTRL-C but ended up just printing a warning as the notifier API is broken * Fixed RAllocatorHelper::OpenChunkHeap() (and thus chunkinfo <address>) and took Adrian's latest changes. * Fixed chunkinfo OOM problem

==name gobble

==short-description

A tool for purposefully wasting disk space.

==long-description

If the specified file does not already exist, it will be created. If it does exist, it will be grown by the amount specified.

==see-also

L<leak|leak>

==option bool v verbose

Display more detailed output.

==option bool n no-write

By default the file is filled with a pattern of 'x' characters. Specify this option to only set the file size and not to actually write to it. Useful if you want to test low disk space without introducing delays (and wear to the disk) of actually writing lots of data.

==argument filename file_name

The file to create or to append to.

==argument uint amount optional

The total number of bytes to consume. If zero or not specified, the file size is set to fill the free space on the disk.

==argument uint block_size optional

The maximum size of each write (in bytes). Defaults to 512.
