FDATASYNC(P) POSIX Programmer's Manual FDATASYNC(P)NAMEfdatasync - 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().
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
