FDATASYNC(3P)             POSIX Programmer's Manual            FDATASYNC(3P)

PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       fdatasync — synchronize the data of a file (REALTIME)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <unistd.h>
       int fdatasync(int fildes);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The fdatasync() function shall force all currently queued I/O
       operations associated with the file indicated by file descriptor
       fildes to the synchronized I/O completion state.
       The functionality shall be equivalent to fsync() with the symbol
       _POSIX_SYNCHRONIZED_IO defined, with the exception that all I/O
       operations shall be completed as defined for synchronized I/O data
       integrity completion.

RETURN VALUE         top

       If successful, the fdatasync() function shall return the value 0;
       otherwise, the function shall return the value −1 and set errno to
       indicate the error. If the fdatasync() function fails, outstanding
       I/O operations are not guaranteed to have been completed.

ERRORS         top

       The fdatasync() function shall fail if:
       EBADF  The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor open for
              writing.
       EINVAL This implementation does not support synchronized I/O for this
              file.
       In the event that any of the queued I/O operations fail, fdatasync()
       shall return the error conditions defined for read() and write().
       The following sections are informative.
