.Sh NAME
|
|
|
|
.Nm aio_fsync
|

.Nd asynchronous file synchronization (REALTIME)
|
|

|
.Sh LIBRARY

|
|
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
.In aio.h
|
|
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
|
|
.Fn aio_fsync "int op" "struct aiocb *iocb"
|
|
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.Fa op
|
2013-12-27 16:57:38 +00:00
|
|
|
argument can only be set to
|
2013-12-26 19:16:30 +00:00
|
|
|
.Dv O_SYNC
|
|
|
|
to cause all currently queued I/O operations to be completed
|
|
|
|
as if by a call to
|
|
|
|
.Xr fsync 2 .
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
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 .
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
If the request could not be enqueued (generally due to invalid arguments),
|
|
|
|
the call returns without having enqueued the request.
|
2016-07-15 15:12:56 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.Fa iocb->aio_sigevent
|
|
|
|
structure can be used to request notification of the request's
|
|
|
|
completion as described in
|
|
|
|
.Xr aio 4 .
|
|
|
|
.Sh RESTRICTIONS
|
|
|
|
The asynchronous I/O Control Block structure pointed to by
|
|
|
|
.Fa iocb
|
|
|
|
must remain valid until the
|
|
|
|
operation has completed.
|
|
|
|
For this reason, use of auto (stack) variables
|
|
|
|
for these objects is discouraged.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The asynchronous I/O control buffer
|
|
|
|
.Fa iocb
|
|
|
|
should be zeroed before the
|
|
|
|
.Fn aio_fsync
|
|
|
|
call to avoid passing bogus context information to the kernel.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
Modifications of the Asynchronous I/O Control Block structure or the
|
|
|
|
buffer contents after the request has been enqueued, but before the
|
|
|
|
request has completed, are not allowed.

.Sh RETURN VALUES

|
|
|
.Rv -std aio_fsync
|
|
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.Fn aio_fsync
|
|
|
|
system call will fail if:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
|
|
The request was not queued because of system resource limitations.
|
2016-07-15 15:12:56 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
|
|
The asynchronous notification method in
|
|
|
|
.Fa iocb->aio_sigevent.sigev_notify
|
|
|
|
is invalid or not supported.
|
2013-12-26 19:16:30 +00:00
|
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOSYS
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.Fn aio_fsync
|
|
|
|
system call is not supported.
|
|
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
|
|
A value of the
|
|
|
|
.Fa op
|
|
|
|
argument is not set to
|
|
|
|
.Dv O_SYNC .
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
.Va 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
|
|
|
|
.Va errno .

.Pp
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
.Xr read 2
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Xr write 2
|
|
|
|
system calls, and the value returned by the
|
|
|
|
.Fn aio_error
|
|
|
|
system call is one of the error returns from the
|
|
|
|
.Xr read 2
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.Xr write 2
|
|
|
|
