|
|
|
.BR aio_fsync ()
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
function does a sync on all outstanding asynchronous I/O operations
|
|
|
|
|
associated with
|
|
|
|
|
.IR aiocbp->aio_fildes .
|
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
|
More precisely, if
|
|
|
|
|
.I op
|
|
|
|
|
is O_SYNC, then all currently queued I/O operations shall be
|
|
|
|
|
completed as if by a call of
|
|
|
|
|
.BR fsync (2),
|
|
|
|
|
and if
|
|
|
|
|
.I op
|
|
|
|
|
is O_DSYNC, this call is the asynchronous analog of
|
|
|
|
|
.BR fdatasync (2).

|
|
|
Note that this is a request only \(em this call does not wait
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
for I/O completion.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
Apart from
|
|
|
|
|
.I aio_fildes
|
|
|
|
|
the only field in the structure pointed to by
|
|
|
|
|
.I aiocbp
|
|
|
|
|
that is used by this call is the
|
|
|
|
|
.I aio_sigevent
|
|
|
|
|
field (a struct sigevent) that indicates the desired type of
|
|
|
|
|
asynchronous notification at completion.
|
|
|
|
|
All other fields are ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"

|
|
|

On success (the sync request was successfully queued)
|
|
|
|

this function returns 0. On error \-1 is returned, and

|
|
|
|
.I errno
|
|
|
|
|
is set appropriately.
