LFS_SEGWAIT(2)						      BSD System Calls Manual						    LFS_SEGWAIT(2)

NAME
lfs_segwait -- wait until a segment is written LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> int lfs_segwait(fsid_t *fsidp, struct timeval *tv); DESCRIPTION
lfs_segwait() blocks until a new segment is acquired for writing by the filesystem specified by *fsidp or if *fsidp is -1, until a segment is acquired for writing by any LFS filesystem. If timeout is non-zero, lfs_segwait() will return after timeout milliseconds regardless of whether a new segment has been designated for writing or not. RETURN VALUES
lfs_segwait() returns 0 if a new segment was acquired; 1 if it timed out; or -1 on error. ERRORS
An error return from lfs_segwait() indicates: [EFAULT] fsidp points outside the process's allocated address space. [EINTR] A signal was delivered before the time limit expired and before a new segment was designated for writing. [EINVAL] The specified time limit is negative. SEE ALSO
