GFS_PIO_SET_VIEW_LOCAL(3)												 GFS_PIO_SET_VIEW_LOCAL(3)

NAME

       gfs_pio_set_view_local - change file view to the corresponding fragment

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gfarm/gfarm.h>

       char *gfs_pio_set_view_local (GFS_File gf, int flags);

DESCRIPTION

       gfs_pio_set_view_local() changes the process's view of the data in the file specified by gf to a file fragment in the local file view.  The
       local file view model assumes each process has its own file fragment which is specified by the argument node of gfs_pio_set_local(3).

       The total number of file fragments is also specified by the argument nnode of gfs_pio_set_local(3).  If it  is  different  from	the  total
       fragment number of the existent file, it is erroneous.

       Before changing to the local file view, it is necessary to call gfs_pio_set_local(3) in advance.

       Values of flag are constructed by a bitwise-inclusive-OR of GFARM_FILE_SEQUENTIAL, GFARM_FILE_REPLICATE, and GFARM_FILE_NOT_REPLICATE.  For
       details, refer to gfs_pio_set_view_index(3).

       By default, Gfarm files are accessed as a whole file in global file view where each fragment can be seamlessly accessed.

RETURN VALUES

       NULL   The function terminated successfully.

       GFARM_ERR_NO_MEMORY
	      Insufficient memory was available.

       GFARM_ERR_OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED
	      The file is not a fragmented file.

       GFARM_ERR_FRAGMENT_NUMBER_DOES_NOT_MATCH
	      The total number of file fragments is different from the existence one.

       Others An error except the above occurred.  The reason is shown by its pointed strings.
