Methods

(==) :: Advice -> Advice -> Bool #

(/=) :: Advice -> Advice -> Bool #

fileAdvise :: Fd -> FileOffset -> FileOffset -> Advice -> IO () Source #

Performs posix_fadvise(2) operation on file-descriptor.

If platform does not provide posix_fadvise(2) fileAdvise becomes a no-op.

(use #if HAVE_POSIX_FADVISE CPP guard to detect availability)

Since: unix-2.7.1.0

fileAllocate :: Fd -> FileOffset -> FileOffset -> IO () Source #

Performs posix_fallocate(2) operation on file-descriptor.

Throws IOError ("unsupported operation") if platform does not provide posix_fallocate(2).

(use #if HAVE_POSIX_FALLOCATE CPP guard to detect availability).
