EINTEGRITY was previously documented as a UFS-specific error for mount(2). This documents EINTEGRITY as a filesystem-independent error that may be reported by the backing store of a filesystem. While here, document EIO as a filesystem-independent error for both mount(2) and posix_fadvise(2). EIO was previously only documented for UFS for mount(2).

.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm posix_fallocate
|
|
.Nd pre-allocate storage for a range in a file
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In fcntl.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn posix_fallocate "int fd" "off_t offset" "off_t len"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Required storage for the range
|
|
.Fa offset
|
|
to
|
|
.Fa offset +
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
in the file referenced by
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
is guaranteed to be allocated upon successful return.
|
|
That is, if
|
|
.Fn posix_fallocate
|
|
returns successfully, subsequent writes to the specified file data
|
|
will not fail due to lack of free space on the file system storage
|
|
media.
|
|
Any existing file data in the specified range is unmodified.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa offset +
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
is beyond the current file size, then
|
|
.Fn posix_fallocate
|
|
will adjust the file size to
|
|
.Fa offset +
|
|
.Fa len .
|
|
Otherwise, the file size will not be changed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Space allocated by
|
|
.Fn posix_fallocate
|
|
will be freed by a successful call to
|
|
.Xr creat 2
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr open 2
|
|
that truncates the size of the file.
|
|
Space allocated via
|
|
.Fn posix_fallocate
|
|
may be freed by a successful call to
|
|
.Xr ftruncate 2
|
|
that reduces the file size to a size smaller than
|
|
.Fa offset +
|
|
.Fa len .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If successful,
|
|
.Fn posix_fallocate
|
|
returns zero.
|
|
It returns an error on failure, without setting
|
|
.Va errno .
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
Possible failure conditions:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|

|
|
argument is not a valid file descriptor.
|
|
.It Bq Er EBADF
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
argument references a file that was opened without write permission.
|
|
.It Bq Er EFBIG

|
.Fa offset +
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
is greater than the maximum file size.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINTR
|
|
A signal was caught during execution.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
argument was less than or equal to zero, the
|
|
.Fa offset
|
|
argument was less than zero,
|
|
or the operation is not supported by the file system.
|
|
.It Bq Er EIO
|
|
An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to a file system.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINTEGRITY
|
|
Corrupted data was detected while reading from the file system.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENODEV
|
|
The

argument does not refer to a file that supports
|
|
.Nm .
|

|
There is insufficient free space remaining on the file system storage
|
|
media.
|
|

The file descriptor
|
|
.Fa fd

|
has insufficient rights.
