|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn msync
|
|
|
|
|
system call writes any modified pages back to the filesystem and updates
|
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
|
|
|
the file modification time.
|
1993-08-06 01:31:41 +04:00
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
|
|
|
is 0, all modified pages within the region containing
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa addr
|
1993-03-21 12:45:37 +03:00
|
|
|
will be flushed;

succeeding locations will be examined.

|
|
|
|
Any required synchronization of memory caches
|
|
|
|
|
will also take place at this time.

Filesystem operations on a file that is mapped for shared modifications
|
1993-08-06 01:31:41 +04:00
