Unix_Linux 的 readahead
readahead -执行文件预读入缓存页
内容简介
#include
ssize_t readahead(intfd, off64_t *offset, size_tcount);
描述
readahead() populates the page cache with data from a file so that subsequent reads from that file will not block on disk I/O. Thefdargument is a file descriptor identifying the file which is to be read. Theoffsetargument specifies the starting point from which data is to be read andcountspecifies the number of bytes to be read. I/O is performed in whole pages, so thatoffsetis effectively rounded down to a page boundary and bytes are read up to the next page boundary greater than or equal to(offset+count).readahead() does not read beyond the end of the file.readahead() blocks until the specified data has been read. The current file offset of the open file referred to byfdis left unchanged.
返回值
On success,readahead() returns 0; on failure, -1 is returned, witherrnoset to indicate the cause of the error.

描述
EBADF
fd is not a valid file descriptor or is not open for reading.
EINVAL
fd does not refer to a file type to which readahead() can be applied.
遵循于
readahead()系统调用是Linux特有的,并且应该避免在便携式应用中的使用。
注意
Thereadahead() system call appeared in Linux 2.4.13.
