f_closeonexec

void f_closeonexec(file f, integer e);

sets/resets the close-on-exec flag for the f file, depending on whether e is non zero or zero. If the flag is 0, the file (descriptor) will stay open across execve(2) calls, otherwise it will be closed. Files opened by libaime library objects may have the flag set, if the application so setup for.

f_d

integer f_d(file f);

is the file descriptor corresponding the f file

f_datasync

file f_datasync(file f);

is f, flushes the f file data to disk (i.e. calls fdatasync(2) for f) if f is an opened system file, does nothing otherwise

f_kate

file f_kate(file f, integer s);

is f, truncates the (write opened) f file to a size of s bytes

f_seek

file f_seek(file f, integer offset, integer whence);

is f, repositions the f file to offset according to the whence directive

See File Seek Definitions.

f_set

file f_set(file &f, file h);

is h, sets the f file object as a reference of the h file object

f_stored

integer f_stored(file f);

is the number of read but not yet consumed bytes for the f file if f is opened for reading, 0 otherwise

f_sync

file f_sync(file f);

is f, flushes the f file to disk (i.e. calls fsync(2) for f) if f is an opened system file, does nothing otherwise

f_tell

integer f_tell(file f);

is the f file position
