Hi, Can somebody tell me how to ensure that when I read from a file data is actually read from disk rather than from a buffer? I have studied both the low level and stream I/O documentation at gnu.org/manual/glibc-2.2.5. I have also done some experimenting with both low level and stream I/O.
Basically, I want to write a chunk of data to a file and then read it back to verify the integrity of the data on disk. The only function which looked promising was __fpurge(FILE *), carefully applied. But I suspect that this function is only intended to purge user level buffers, not kernel buffers, and so a subsequent read would go to the kernel buffer, not disk. Suggestions? Thanks!
