NAME
aio_fsync - asynchronous file synchronization (REALTIME)LIBRARY
Lb libcSYNOPSIS
In aio.h Ft int Fn aio_fsync int op struct aiocb *iocbDESCRIPTION
The Fn aio_fsync system call allows the calling process to move all modified data associated with the descriptor Fa iocb->aio_fildes to a permanent 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.The Fa op argument can only be set to O_SYNC to cause all currently queued I/O operations to be completed as if by a call to fsync(2).
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 Fa iocb->aio_reqprio .
The Fa iocb pointer may be subsequently used as an argument to Fn aio_return and Fn aio_error in order to determine return or error status for the enqueued operation while it is in progress.
If the request could not be enqueued (generally due to invalid arguments), the call returns without having enqueued the request.
RETURN VALUES
Rv -std aio_fsyncERRORS
The Fn aio_fsync system call will fail if:- Bq Er EAGAIN
- The request was not queued because of system resource limitations.
- Bq Er ENOSYS
- The Fn aio_fsync system call is not supported.
- Bq Er EINVAL
- A value of the Fa op argument is not set to O_SYNC
The following conditions may be synchronously detected when the Fn aio_fsync system call is made, or asynchronously, at any time thereafter. If they are detected at call time, Fn aio_fsync returns -1 and sets errno appropriately; otherwise the Fn aio_return system call must be called, and will return -1, and Fn aio_error must be called to determine the actual value that would have been returned in errno
- Bq Er EBADF
- The Fa iocb->aio_fildes argument is not a valid descriptor.
- Bq Er EINVAL
- This implementation does not support synchronized I/O for this file.
If the request is successfully enqueued, but subsequently cancelled or an error occurs, the value returned by the Fn aio_return system call is per the read(2) and write(2) system calls, and the value returned by the Fn aio_error system call is one of the error returns from the read(2) or write(2) system calls.
