| 23 | .TH AIO_FSYNC 3 2003-11-14 "" "Linux Programmer's Manual" | |
| 24 | .SH NAME | |
| 25 | aio_fsync \- asynchronous file synchronization | |
| 26 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| 27 | .sp | |
| 28 | .B "#include <aio.h>" | |
| 29 | .sp | |
| 30 | .BI "int aio_fsync(int " op ", struct aiocb *" aiocbp ); | |
| 31 | .sp | |
| 32 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 33 | The | |
| 34 | .B aio_fsync | |
| 35 | function does a sync on all outstanding asynchronous I/O operations | |
| 36 | associated with | |
| 37 | .IR aiocbp->aio_fildes . | |
| 38 | .LP | |
| 39 | More precisely, if | |
| 40 | .I op | |
| 41 | is O_SYNC, then all currently queued I/O operations shall be | |
| 42 | completed as if by a call of | |
| 43 | .BR fsync (2), | |
| 44 | and if | |
| 45 | .I op | |
| 46 | is O_DSYNC, this call is the asynchronous analog of | |
| 47 | .BR fdatasync (2). | |
| df8a3cac | 48 | Note that this is a request only \(em this call does not wait |
| fea681da MK |
49 | for I/O completion. |
| 50 | .LP | |
| 51 | Apart from | |
| 52 | .I aio_fildes | |
| 53 | the only field in the structure pointed to by | |
| 54 | .I aiocbp | |
| 55 | that is used by this call is the | |
| 56 | .I aio_sigevent | |
| 57 | field (a struct sigevent) that indicates the desired type of | |
| 58 | asynchronous notification at completion. | |
| 59 | All other fields are ignored. | |
| 60 | .SH "RETURN VALUE" | |
| 61 | On success (the sync request was successfully queued) | |
| 62 | this function returns 0. On error \-1 is returned, and | |
| 63 | .I errno | |
| 64 | is set appropriately. | |
| 65 | .SH ERRORS | |
| 66 | .TP | |
| 67 | .B EAGAIN | |
| 68 | Out of resources. | |
| 69 | .TP | |
| 70 | .B EBADF | |
| 71 | .I aio_fildes | |
| 72 | is not a valid file descriptor open for writing. | |
| 73 | .TP | |
| 74 | .B EINVAL | |
| 75 | No synchronized I/O for this file is supported, or | |
| 76 | .I op | |
| 77 | is not O_SYNC or O_DSYNC. | |
