.SH PROLOG
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.
.SH NAME
fdatasync \- synchronize the data of a file (\fBREALTIME\fP)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <unistd.h>
.br
.sp
int fdatasync(int\fP \fIfildes\fP\fB); \fP
\fB
.br
\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fIfdatasync\fP() function shall force all currently queued I/O
operations associated with the file indicated by file
descriptor \fIfildes\fP to the synchronized I/O completion state.
.LP
The functionality shall be equivalent to \fIfsync\fP() 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.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
If successful, the \fIfdatasync\fP() function shall return the value
0; otherwise, the function shall return the value -1 and
set \fIerrno\fP to indicate the error. If the \fIfdatasync\fP() function
fails, outstanding I/O operations are not guaranteed to
have been completed.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
The \fIfdatasync\fP() function shall fail if:
.TP 7
.B EBADF
The \fIfildes\fP argument is not a valid file descriptor open for
writing.
.TP 7
.B EINVAL
This implementation does not support synchronized I/O for this file.
.sp
.LP
In the event that any of the queued I/O operations fail, \fIfdatasync\fP()
shall return the error conditions defined for \fIread\fP() and \fIwrite\fP().
