fdatasync(3RT) Realtime Library Functions fdatasync(3RT)
NAME
fdatasync - synchronize a file's data
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lrt [ library... ]
#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).
