<div><p>Read about using the QHFFRCSF or fscync() APIs to write optical
file data to nonvolatile media while writing to optical media.</p>
<div class="p"><p>When creating or updating optical files, the data is not guaranteed
to exist on optical disk until the file is successfully closed. Optical file
data can, however, be synchronously written to nonvolatile storage using either
the HFS API Force Buffered Data (QHFFRCSF) or the fsync() UNIX-type API. The
type of nonvolatile storage is different depending on the optical media format. </p>
<p>For
the High Performance Optical File System (HPOFS), all file data will be written
to the internal disk storage. The data can then be recovered through a held
optical file if a power loss or other unexpected error occurred which prevented
the file from being closed.</p>
<p>For Universal Disk Format (UDF), all file
data will be written to the optical disk when a force operation is issued.
No recovery is required if a power loss or other unexpected error occurs,
which prevents the file from being closed. However, if write operations are
issued after the data is forced and the close operation is never successful,
the file data is unpredictable. Because the write operations that follow the
force operation are asynchronous, the data might not be written
to the optical disc.</p>
