NAME
fdatasync - synchronize a file's data SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h> int fdatasync(int fildes); DESCRIPTION
The fdatasync() function forces all currently queued I/O operations associated with the file indicated by file descriptor fildes to the synchronized I/O completion state. The functionality is as described for fsync(3C) (with the symbol _XOPEN_REALTIME defined), with the exception that all I/O operations are completed as defined for synchronised I/O data integrity completion. RETURN VALUES
If successful, the fdatasync() function returns 0. Otherwise, the function returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error. If the fdata- sync() function fails, outstanding I/O operations are not guaranteed to have been completed. ERRORS
The fdatasync() function will fail if: EBADF The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor open for writing. EINVAL The system does not support synchronized I/O for this file. ENOSYS The function fdatasync() is not supported by the system. In the event that any of the queued I/O operations fail, fdatasync() returns the error conditions defined for read(2) and write(2).

PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond- ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux. NAME
fdatasync - synchronize the data of a file (REALTIME) SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h> int fdatasync(int fildes); DESCRIPTION
The fdatasync() function shall force all currently queued I/O operations associated with the file indicated by file descriptor fildes to the synchronized I/O completion state. The functionality shall be equivalent to fsync() with the symbol _POSIX_SYNCHRONIZED_IO defined, with the exception that all I/O operations shall be completed as defined for synchronized I/O data integrity completion. RETURN VALUE
If successful, the fdatasync() function shall return the value 0; otherwise, the function shall return the value -1 and set errno to indi- cate the error. If the fdatasync() function fails, outstanding I/O operations are not guaranteed to have been completed. ERRORS
The fdatasync() function shall fail if: EBADF The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor open for writing. EINVAL This implementation does not support synchronized I/O for this file. In the event that any of the queued I/O operations fail, fdatasync() shall return the error conditions defined for read() and write(). The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
