FDATASYNC(3P)		   POSIX Programmer's Manual		 FDATASYNC(3P)

PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the	 corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.

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	opera‐
       tions  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 opera‐
       tions shall be completed as defined for synchronized I/O data integrity
       completion.

RETURN VALUE
       If  successful, the fdatasync() function shall return the value 0; oth‐
       erwise, the function shall return the value −1 and set errno  to	 indi‐
       cate  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().
