NAME

6       libssh2_sftp_fsync - synchronize file to disk
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <libssh2.h>
10       #include <libssh2_sftp.h>
11
12       int
13       libssh2_sftp_fsync(LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE *handle)
14

DESCRIPTION

16       This function causes the remote server to synchronize the file data and
17       metadata to disk (like fsync(2)).
18
19       For this to work requires fsync@openssh.com support on the server.
20
21       handle - SFTP File Handle as returned by libssh2_sftp_open_ex(3)
22

RETURN VALUE

24       Returns 0 on success or negative on failure. If  used  in  non-blocking
25       mode,  it  returns  LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block.
26       While LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it  is  not  really  a
27       failure per se.
28

ERRORS

30       LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC -  An internal memory allocation call failed.
31
32       LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.
33
34       LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL - An invalid SFTP protocol response was re‐
35       ceived on the socket, or an SFTP operation caused an  errorcode  to  be
36       returned by the server.  In particular, this can be returned if the SSH
37       server does not support the fsync  operation:  the  SFTP  subcode  LIB‐
38       SSH2_FX_OP_UNSUPPORTED will be returned in this case.
