aio_fsync - asynchronous file synchronization
<A NAME="lbAC">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>
<B>#include &lt;<A HREF="file:///usr/include/aio.h">aio.h</A>&gt;</B>
<P>
<B>int aio_fsync(int </B><I>op</I><B>, struct aiocb *</B><I>aiocbp</I><B>);</B>
<P>
Link with <I>-lrt</I>.
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The
<B>aio_fsync</B>()
function does a sync on all outstanding asynchronous I/O operations
associated with
<I>aiocbp-&gt;aio_fildes</I>.
(See
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?7+aio">aio</A></B>(7)
for a description of the
<I>aiocb</I>
structure.)
<P>
More precisely, if
<I>op</I>
is
<B>O_SYNC</B>,
then all currently queued I/O operations shall be
completed as if by a call of
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+fsync">fsync</A></B>(2),
and if
<I>op</I>
is
<B>O_DSYNC</B>,
this call is the asynchronous analog of
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+fdatasync">fdatasync</A></B>(2).
<P>
Note that this is a request only; it does not wait for I/O completion.
<P>
Apart from
<I>aio_fildes</I>,
the only field in the structure pointed to by
<I>aiocbp</I>
that is used by this call is the
<I>aio_sigevent</I>
field (a
<I>sigevent</I>
structure, described in
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?7+sigevent">sigevent</A></B>(7)),
which indicates the desired type of asynchronous notification at completion.
All other fields are ignored.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
On success (the sync request was successfully queued)
this function returns 0.
On error, -1 is returned, and
<I>errno</I>
is set appropriately.
