<p>The <strong>pwrite()</strong> function writes <em>nbyte</em> bytes from <em>
|
|
buf</em> to the file associated with <em>file_descriptor</em>. The <em>
|
|
offset</em> value defines the starting position in the file and the file
|
|
pointer position is not changed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>See <a href="write.htm">write()--Write to Descriptor</a> for more
|
|
information relating to writing to a descriptor.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <em>offset</em> will also be ignored if <em>file_descriptor</em> refers
|
|
to a descriptor obtained using the <strong>open()</strong> function with
|
|
O_APPEND specified.</p>
|
|
|

|
<h3>Parameters</h3>

<dd>(Input) The descriptor of the file to which the data is to be written.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><strong><em>buf</em></strong></dt>
|
|

|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><strong><em>nbyte</em></strong></dt>
|

<p>If you are accessing a remote file through the Network File System, update

operations to file permissions at the server are not reflected at the client

until updates to data that is stored locally by the Network File System take

|
place. (Several options on the Add Mounted File System (ADDMFS) command
|
|
determine the time between refresh operations of local data.) Access to a

remote file may also fail due to different mappings of user IDs (UID) or group

For a physical file member opened in text mode, the <em>offset</em> must be equal to the current file position. Otherwise, this operation will fail with error code [EIO].
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This function will fail with error code [ENOTSAFE] if the object on which
|
|
this function is operating is a save file and multiple threads exist in the
|
|
job.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the file specified is a save file, only complete records will be written
|
|
into the save file. A <strong>pwrite()</strong> request that does not provide
|
|
enough data to completely fill a save file record will cause the partial
|
|
record's data to be saved by the file system. The saved partial record will
|
|
then be combined with additional data on subsequent <strong>pwrite()</strong>'s
|
|
until a complete record may be written into the save file. If the save file is
|
|
closed prior to a saved partial record being written into the save file, then
|
|
the saved partial record is discarded, and the data in that partial record will
|
|
need to be written again by the application.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A successful <strong>pwrite()</strong> updates the change, modification, and
|
|
access times for a database member using the normal rules that apply to
|
|
database files. At most, the access time is updated once per day.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You should be careful when writing end-of-file characters in the QSYS.LIB
|
|
and independent ASP QSYS.LIB file systems. For these file systems, end-of-file
|
|
characters are symbolic; that is, they are stored outside the file member.
|
|
However, some situations can result in actual, nonsymbolic end-of-file
|
|
characters being written to a member. These nonsymbolic end-of-file characters
|
|
could cause some tools or utilities to fail. For example:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>If you previously wrote an end-of-file character as the last character of a
|
|
member, do not continue to write data after that end-of-file character.
|
|
Continuing to write data will cause a nonsymbolic end-of-file to be written. As
|
|
a result, a compile of the member could fail.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>If you previously wrote an end-of-file character as the last character of a
|
|
member, do not write other end-of-file characters preceding it in the file.
|
|
This will cause a nonsymbolic end-of-file to be written. As a result, a compile
|
|
of the member could fail.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>If you previously used the integrated file system interface to manipulate a
|
|
member that contains an end-of-file character, avoid using other interfaces
|
|
(such as the Source Entry Utility or database reads and writes) to manipulate
|
|
the member. If you use other interfaces after using the integrated file system
|
|
interface, the end-of-file information will be lost.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>QOPT File System Differences
|
|
|
|
<p>The change and modification times of the file are updated when the file is
|
|
closed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When writing to files on volumes formatted in Universal Disk Format (UDF),
|
|
byte locks on the range being written are ignored.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Network File System Differences
|
|
|
|
<p>Local access to remote files through the Network File System may produce
|
|
unexpected results due to conditions at the server. Once a file is open,
|
|
subsequent requests to perform operations on the file can fail because file
|
|
attributes are checked at the server on each request. If permissions on the
|
|
file are made more restrictive at the server or the file is unlinked or made
|
|
unavailable by the server for another client, your operation on an open file
|
|
descriptor will fail when the local Network File System receives these updates.
|
|
The local Network File System also impacts operations that retrieve file
|
|
attributes. Recent changes at the server may not be available at your client
|
|
yet, and old values may be returned from operations (several options on the Add
|
|
Mounted File System (ADDMFS) command determine the time between refresh
|
|
operations of local data).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Reading and writing to files with the Network File System relies on
|
|
byte-range locking to guarantee data integrity. To prevent data inconsistency,
|
|
use the <strong>fcntl()</strong> API to get and release these locks.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>QFileSvr.400 File System Differences
|
|
|
|
<p>The largest buffer size allowed is 16 megabytes. If a larger buffer is
|
|
passed, the error EINVAL will be received.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>For the file systems that do not support large files, <strong>
|
|
pwrite()</strong> will return [EINVAL] if the starting offset exceeds 2GB minus
|
|
2 bytes, regardless of how the file was opened. For the file systems that do
|
|
support large files, <strong>pwrite()</strong> will return [EFBIG] if the
|
|
starting offset exceeds 2GB minus 2 bytes and the file was not opened for large
|
|
file access.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Using this function successfully on the /dev/null or /dev/zero character
|
|
special file results in a return value of the total number of bytes requested
|
|
to be written. No data is written to the /dev/null or /dev/zero character
|
|
special file. In addition, the change and modification times for the file are
|
|
updated.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>If the write exceeds the process soft file size limit, signal SIFXFSZ is
|
|
issued.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>If <em>file_descriptor</em> refers to a descriptor obtained using the
|
|
<strong>open()</strong> function with O_TEXTDATA and O_CCSID specified, the
|
|
file CCSID and open CCSID are not the same, and the converted data could expand
|
|
or contract, then the <em>offset</em> value must be 0.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>If <em>file_descriptor</em> refers to a character special file, the <em>
|
|
offset</em> value is ignored.</li>
