AIO_FSYNC(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 					      AIO_FSYNC(3)

NAME

     aio_fsync -- asynchronous data synchronization of file (REALTIME)

LIBRARY

     POSIX Real-time Library (librt, -lrt)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <aio.h>

     int
     aio_fsync(int op, struct aiocb *aiocbp);

DESCRIPTION

     The aio_fsync() system call allows the calling process to force all modified data associated with the file descriptor aiocbp->aio_fildes to
     be flushed to the stable storage device.  The call returns immediately after the synchronization request has been enqueued to the descriptor;
     the synchronization may or may not have completed at the time the call returns.  If the request could not be enqueued, generally due to
     invalid arguments, the call returns without having enqueued the request.

     The op argument could be set only to O_DSYNC or O_SYNC.  If op is O_DSYNC, then aio_fsync() does the same as a fdatasync() call, if O_SYNC,
     then the same as fsync().

     If _POSIX_PRIORITIZED_IO is defined, and the descriptor supports it, then the enqueued operation is submitted at a priority equal to that of
     the calling process minus aiocbp->aio_reqprio.

     The aiocbp pointer may be subsequently used as an argument to aio_return() and aio_error() in order to determine return or error status for
     the enqueued operation while it is in progress.

RETURN VALUES

     The aio_fsync() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indi-
     cate the error.

ERRORS

     The aio_fsync() system call will fail if:

     [EAGAIN]		The request was not queued because of system resource limitations.

     The following conditions may be synchronously detected when the aio_fsync() system call is made, or asynchronously, at any time thereafter.
     If they are detected at call time, aio_fsync() returns -1 and sets errno appropriately; otherwise the aio_return() system call must be
     called, and will return -1, and aio_error() must be called to determine the actual value that would have been returned in errno.

     [EBADF]		The aiocbp->aio_fildes is invalid for writing.

     [EINVAL]		This implementation does not support synchronized I/O for this file, or the op argument is neither set to O_DSYNC nor
			O_SYNC.

STANDARDS

     The aio_fsync() system call is expected to conform to the IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'') standard.

HISTORY

     The aio_fsync() system call first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.

NAME

       aio_fsync - asynchronous file synchronization

SYNOPSIS

       #include <aio.h>

       int aio_fsync(int op, struct aiocb *aiocbp);

       Link with -lrt.

DESCRIPTION

       The  aio_fsync() function does a sync on all outstanding asynchronous I/O operations associated with aiocbp->aio_fildes.  (See aio(7) for a
       description of the aiocb structure.)

       More precisely, if op is O_SYNC, then all currently queued I/O operations shall be completed as if by a call of  fsync(2),  and  if  op  is
       O_DSYNC, this call is the asynchronous analog of fdatasync(2).

       Note that this is a request only; it does not wait for I/O completion.

       Apart from aio_fildes, the only field in the structure pointed to by aiocbp that is used by this call is the aio_sigevent field (a sigevent
       structure, described in sigevent(7)), which indicates the desired type of asynchronous notification at completion.  All  other  fields  are
       ignored.

RETURN VALUE

       On success (the sync request was successfully queued) this function returns 0.  On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

       EAGAIN Out of resources.

       EBADF  aio_fildes is not a valid file descriptor open for writing.

       EINVAL Synchronized I/O is not supported for this file, or op is not O_SYNC or O_DSYNC.

       ENOSYS aio_fsync() is not implemented.

VERSIONS

       The aio_fsync() function is available since glibc 2.1.
