spt_fwritex(2) OSS System Calls Reference Manual
ERRORS
The spt_fwritex() function fails if:
• The stream parameter is not open for writing.
• The output file size cannot be increased.
• The stream is unbuffered.
• The buffer of stream needs to be flushed and the function call causes an underlying
spt_writex() or lseek() to be invoked, and this underlying operation fails.
In addition, if any of these conditions occur, the spt_fwritex() function sets errno to the
corresponding value:
[EAGAIN] The O_NONBLOCK flag is set for the file descriptor underlying the output
stream and the process would be delayed in the write operation.
[EBADF] The file descriptor underlying the output stream is not a valid file descriptor open
for writing.
[EFBIG] An attempt was made to write to a file that exceeds the process’s file size limit or
the maximum file size.
[EINTR] The write operation was interrupted by a signal that was caught, and no data was
transferred.
[EIO] The implementation supports job control; the process is a member of a back-
ground process group attempting to write to its controlling terminal; TOSTOP is
set; the process is neither ignoring nor blocking SIGTTOU; and the process
group of the process is orphaned. This error might also be returned under
implementation-defined conditions.
[ENOMEM] Insufficient memory storage space is available.
[ENOSPC] No free space was remaining on the device containing the file.
[ENXIO] A request was made of a nonexistent device, or the request was outside the capa-
bilities of the device.
[EPIPE] An attempt was made to write to a pipe or FIFO that is not open for reading by
any process. A SIGPIPE signal will also be sent to the process.
Any error encountered during the underlying call to the spt_writex() function can cause this
function to return the corresponding errno value reported by the spt_writex() function. If your
application program encounters an errno value not listed on this reference page, see the
spt_writex(2) reference page either online or in the Open System Services System Calls Refer-
ence Manual for information about the cause of that error.
