fsync()

Synchronize the file state

Synopsis:

#include <unistd.h>

int fsync( int filedes );

Arguments:

filedes
The descriptor for the file that you want to synchronize.

Library:

libc

Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.

Description:

The fsync() function forces all queued I/O operations for the file specified by the filedes file descriptor to finish, synchronizing the file's state. The function blocks until this is finished. For more information about synchronizing, see Filesystems and block I/O (devb-*) drivers in the Fine-Tuning Your System chapter of the QNX Neutrino User's Guide.

Although similar to fdatasync(), fsync() also guarantees the integrity of file information such as access and modification times.

Returns:

0 for success, or -1 if an error occurs (errno is set).

Errors:

EBADF
The filedes argument isn't a valid file descriptor open for writing.
EINVAL
The implementation doesn't support synchronized I/O for the given file.
ENOSYS
The fsync() function isn't supported for the filesystem specified by filedes.

Classification:

POSIX 1003.1 FSC

Safety:
Cancellation point Yes
Interrupt handler No
Signal handler Yes
Thread Yes
