<p>The <strong>msync()</strong> function can be used to write modified data
|
|
from a shared mapping (created using the <strong>mmap()</strong> function) to
|
|
non-volatile storage or invalidate privately mapped pages. The data located
|
|
through mapping address <em>addr</em> for a length of <em>len</em> are either
|
|
written to disk, or invalidated, depending on the value of <em>flags</em> and
|
|
the private or shared nature of the mapping.</p>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
<h3>Parameters</h3>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><strong><em>addr</em></strong></dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>The starting address of the memory region to be synchronized to permanent
|
|
storage. The specified address must be a multiple of the page size.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><strong><em>len</em></strong></dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>The number of bytes affected. The length must not be zero. If the length is
|
|
not a multiple of the page size the system will round this value to the next
|
|
page boundary.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><strong><em>flags</em></strong></dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>The desired synchronization.
|
|
|
|
<p>The following table shows the symbolic constants allowed for the flags
|
|
parameter.</p>

|
<p>The MS_SYNC and MS_ASYNC options are mutually exclusive. The MS_SYNC and
|
|
MS_ASYNC options are ignored if the memory map was created with the MAP_PRIVATE
|
|
option.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The MS_INVALIDATE option is used to discard changes made to a memory map
|
|
created with the MAP_PRIVATE option. The private memory map is synchronized
|
|
with the current data in the file. Any reference subsequent to the execution of
|
|
the <strong>msync()</strong> function that invalidates a page will result in a
|
|
reference to the current value of the file. The first modification of a page
|
|
after the privately mapped page is invalidated results in the creation of a
|
|
fresh private copy of that page. Subsequent modifications of this page prior to
|
|
the next execution of an msync that invalidates the page will result in
|
|
modifications to the same private copy of the page.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The MS_INVALIDATE value is ignored if the memory map was created with the
|
|
MAP_SHARED option.</p>

<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>The <strong>msync()</strong> function must be used to write changed pages
|
|
of a shared mapping to disk. If a system crash occurs before the <strong>
|
|
msync()</strong> function completes, some data may not be preserved.
|
|
|
|
<p>Process termination does not automatically write changed pages to disk. Some
|
|
or all pages may be eventually written by the paging subsystem, but no
|
|
guarantee is given. Therefore, if the data must be preserved the <strong>
|
|
msync()</strong> function must be used to ensure changes made through a shared
|
|
memory map are written to disk.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The address pointer that was returned by <strong>mmap()</strong> can only
|
|
be used with the V4R4M0 or later versions of the following languages:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>ILE COBOL</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>ILE RPG</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>ILE C if the TERASPACE parameter is used when compiling the program.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change">
|
|
The application cannot write or store any data via the memory mapping which
|
|
includes any tagged (16-byte) pointers because the pointer attribute will be lost.
|
|
Some examples of tagged pointers include space pointers, system pointers,
|
|
invocation pointers etc..
|
|
<p>If the DTAMDL(*LLP64) parameter is used when compiling an ILE C program,
|
|
this limitation does not apply as the pointers will be 8 byte pointers, and their
|
|
pointer attribute will be preserved.
