11 struct pmem2_source;
12 int pmem2_source_size(const struct pmem2_source *source, size_t *size);
13
15 The pmem2_source_size() function retrieves the size of the file in
16 bytes pointed by file descriptor or handle stored in the source and
17 puts it in *size.
18
19 This function is a portable replacement for OS-specific APIs. On Lin‐
20 ux, it hides the quirkiness of Device DAX size detection.
21
23 The pmem2_source_size() function returns 0 on success. If the function
24 fails, the *size variable is left unmodified and a negative error code
25 is returned.
26
28 The pmem2_source_size() can fail with the following errors:
29
30 On all systems:
31
32 • PMEM2_E_INVALID_FILE_HANDLE - source contains an invalid file handle.
33
34 On Windows:
35
36 • PMEM2_E_INVALID_FILE_TYPE - handle points to a resource that is not a
37 regular file.
38
39 On Linux:
40
41 • PMEM2_E_INVALID_FILE_TYPE - file descriptor points to a directory,
42 block device, pipe, or socket.
43
44 • PMEM2_E_INVALID_FILE_TYPE - file descriptor points to a character de‐
45 vice other than Device DAX.
46
47 • PMEM2_E_INVALID_SIZE_FORMAT - kernel query for Device DAX size re‐
48 turned data in invalid format.
49
50 • -errno set by failing fstat(2), while trying to validate the file de‐
51 scriptor.
52
53 • -errno set by failing realpath(3), while trying to determine whether
54 fd points to a Device DAX.
55
56 • -errno set by failing open(2), while trying to determine Device DAX's
57 size.
58
59 • -errno set by failing read(2), while trying to determine Device DAX's
60 size.
61
62 • -errno set by failing strtoull(3), while trying to determine Device
63 DAX's size.
64
65 On FreeBSD:
66
67 • PMEM2_E_INVALID_FILE_TYPE - file descriptor points to a directory,
68 block device, pipe, socket, or character device.
69
70 • -errno set by failing fstat(2), while trying to validate the file de‐
71 scriptor.
