pmem2_source_size - Man Page

#include <libpmem2.h>

struct pmem2_source;
int pmem2_source_size(const struct pmem2_source *source, size_t *size);

The pmem2_source_size() function retrieves the size of the file in bytes pointed by file descriptor stored in the source and puts it in *size.

This function hides the quirkiness of Device DAX size detection.

The pmem2_source_size() function returns 0 on success. If the function fails, the *size variable is left unmodified and a negative error code is returned.

The pmem2_source_size() can fail with the following errors:

• PMEM2_E_INVALID_FILE_HANDLE - source contains an invalid file handle.
• PMEM2_E_INVALID_FILE_TYPE - file descriptor points to a directory, block device, pipe, or socket.
• PMEM2_E_INVALID_FILE_TYPE - file descriptor points to a character device other than Device DAX.
• PMEM2_E_INVALID_SIZE_FORMAT - kernel query for Device DAX size returned data in invalid format.
• -errno set by failing fstat(2), while trying to validate the file descriptor.
• -errno set by failing realpath(3), while trying to determine whether fd points to a Device DAX.
• -errno set by failing open(2), while trying to determine Device DAX’s size.
• -errno set by failing read(2), while trying to determine Device DAX’s size.
• -errno set by failing strtoull(3), while trying to determine Device DAX’s size.
