Subject: syncfs returns int (or long?)
Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2012 16:49:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F368DF3.10605@truelite.it> (raw)
In man 2 syncfs (version 2011-09-07, also in the website) it is declared as:
void syncfs(int fd);
but then is said:
RETURN VALUE
syncfs() returns 0 on success; on error, it returns -1 and
sets errno to indicate the error.
so it cannot be void. I get
piccardi@monk:/usr/src/linux-source-3.1$ grep -r syncfs include/*
include/asm-generic/unistd.h:#define __NR_syncfs 267
include/asm-generic/unistd.h:__SYSCALL(__NR_syncfs, sys_syncfs)
include/linux/syscalls.h:asmlinkage long sys_syncfs(int fd);
So it seems to be at least long.
