GDAU100@BGUVM.BITNET ("Jonathan B. Owen") (11/27/88)
Hello Group.
I assume many of you work on Unix based targets. Well, here's a question
you might be able to answer.
I make updates to a file via DIRECT_IO. At some point I must be sure
that the updates were physically written to disk. I have sent a query
to the Apollo list (since I work on one). It was suggested that I use
some Unix services like fsync, flush and sio$force_write. Well, I tried
using fsync but it didn't work. I passed to it the DIRECT_IO.File_type
of the file, after converting it to File_ptr. Note that File_type of
DIRECT_IO is defined as "new File_ptr". I have not managed to interace to
the other services mentioned.
Can you help me out?
Thank you,
JB
P.S. I would very much appreciate if you would send one or two examples
of Ada programs which access the GPR and GSR graphics routines of
the Apollo workstation... :-)
