From e1fc742e14e01d84d9693c4aca4ab23da65811fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?J=C3=BCrg=20Billeter?= Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2017 14:07:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fs: add RWF_APPEND MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This is the per-I/O equivalent of O_APPEND to support atomic append operations on any open file. If a file is opened with O_APPEND, pwrite() ignores the offset and always appends data to the end of the file. RWF_APPEND enables atomic append and pwrite() with offset on a single file descriptor.
