_commit
The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.
The latest version of this topic can be found at _commit.
Flushes a file directly to disk.
Syntax
int _commit(
int fd
);
Parameters
fd
File descriptor referring to the open file.
Return Value
_commit returns 0 if the file was successfully flushed to disk. A return value of –1 indicates an error.
Remarks
The _commit function forces the operating system to write the file associated with fd to disk. This call ensures that the specified file is flushed immediately, not at the operating system's discretion.
If fd is an invalid file descriptor, the invalid parameter handler is invoked, as described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, the function returns -1 and errno is set to EBADF.
