.Nm fdatasync
|
|
.Nd synchronize the data of a file

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In unistd.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn fdatasync "int fd"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fdatasync
|
|
function forces all modified data associated with the file descriptor
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
to be flushed to stable storage.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The functionality is as described for
|
|
.Xr fsync 2 ,
|
|
with the exception that file status information need not be synchronized,
|
|
which may result in a performance gain, compared to
|
|
.Xr fsync 2 .
|
|
This behaviour is commonly known as
|
|
.Bf -symbolic
|
|
synchronized I/O data integrity completion.
|
|
.Ef
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
A value of 0 is returned on success.
|
|
Otherwise, a value \-1 is returned and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fdatasync
|
|
function will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EBADF
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
argument is not a valid file descriptor open for writing.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
This implementation does not support synchronized I/O for this file.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOSYS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fdatasync
|
|
function is not supported by this implementation.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the event that any of the I/O operations to be performed fail,
|
|
.Fn fdatasync
|
|
returns the error conditions defined for
|
|
.Xr read 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr write 2 ,
|
|
and outstanding I/O operations are not guaranteed to have been completed.
