FDATASYNC
Section: POSIX Programmer's Manual (P)
Updated: 2003
NAME
fdatasync - synchronize the data of a file (REALTIME)
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int fdatasync(int fildes);
DESCRIPTION
The fdatasync() function shall force all currently queued I/O
operations associated with the file indicated by file
descriptor fildes to the synchronized I/O completion state.
The functionality shall be equivalent to fsync() with the symbol
_POSIX_SYNCHRONIZED_IO defined, with the exception that all I/O operations
shall be completed as defined for synchronized I/O data
integrity completion.
RETURN VALUE
If successful, the fdatasync() function shall return the value
0; otherwise, the function shall return the value -1 and
set errno to indicate the error. If the fdatasync() function
fails, outstanding I/O operations are not guaranteed to
have been completed.
ERRORS
The fdatasync() function shall fail if:
- EBADF
-
The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor open for
writing.
- EINVAL
-
This implementation does not support synchronized I/O for this file.
In the event that any of the queued I/O operations fail, fdatasync()
shall return the error conditions defined for read() and write().
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
