FDOUT(3) libdill Library Functions FDOUT(3)

fdout - wait on file descriptor to become writable


#include <libdill.h>
int fdout(
    int fd,
    int64_t deadline);

    

Waits on a file descriptor (true OS file descriptor, not libdill socket handle) to either become writeable or get into an error state. Either case leads to a successful return from the function. To distinguish the two outcomes, follow up with a write operation on the file descriptor.

fd: file descriptor (OS-level one, not a libdill handle)

deadline: A point in time when the operation should time out, in milliseconds. Use the now function to get your current point in time. 0 means immediate timeout, i.e., perform the operation if possible or return without blocking if not. -1 means no deadline, i.e., the call will block forever if the operation cannot be performed.

In case of success the function returns 0. In case of error it returns -1 and sets errno to one of the values below.

EBADF: Not a file descriptor.
EBUSY: Another coroutine already blocked on fdout with this file descriptor.
ECANCELED: Current coroutine was canceled.
ETIMEDOUT: Deadline was reached.


int result = fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK);
assert(result == 0);
while(len) {
    result = fdout(fd, -1);
    assert(result == 0);
    ssize_t sent = send(fd, buf, len, 0);
    assert(len > 0);
    buf += sent;
    len -= sent;
}
