NAME

posix_fallocate - file space control (ADVANCED REALTIME)

SYNOPSIS

#include <fcntl.h>

int posix_fallocate(int fd, off_t offset, size_t len);

DESCRIPTION

The posix_fallocate() function shall ensure that any required storage for regular file data starting at offset and continuing for len bytes is allocated on the file system storage media. If posix_fallocate() returns successfully, subsequent writes to the specified file data shall not fail due to the lack of free space on the file system storage media.

If the offset+ len is beyond the current file size, then posix_fallocate() shall adjust the file size to offset+ len. Otherwise, the file size shall not be changed.

It is implementation-defined whether a previous posix_fadvise() call influences allocation strategy.

Space allocated via posix_fallocate() shall be freed by a successful call to creat() or open() that truncates the size of the file. Space allocated via posix_fallocate() may be freed by a successful call to ftruncate() that reduces the file size to a size smaller than offset+ len.

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, posix_fallocate() shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS

The posix_fallocate() function shall fail if:

EBADF: The fd argument is not a valid file descriptor.
EBADF: The fd argument references a file that was opened without write permission.
EFBIG: The value of offset+ len is greater than the maximum file size.
EINTR: A signal was caught during execution.
EINVAL: The len argument was zero or the offset argument was less than zero.
EIO: An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to a file system.
ENODEV: The fd argument does not refer to a regular file.
ENOSPC: There is insufficient free space remaining on the file system storage media.
ESPIPE: The fd argument is associated with a pipe or FIFO.
