unix file size becomes zero

Hi,

when can a unix library file size become zero? For example.: can mistyping this command -> /usr/ucb/ps -auxww|grep -i <process name> make the "ps" library file size to become zero or its contents to get deleted? Is there any other way that an inadvertant mistake could cause the file size to become zero?
