FDATASYNC(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual FDATASYNC(3P)
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.
fdatasync — synchronize the data of a file (REALTIME)
#include <unistd.h> int fdatasync(int fildes);
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.
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.
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.
