readlink函数 linux,readv()函数 Unix/Linux

readv, writev - 读取或写入数据到多个缓冲区

内容简介

#include

ssize_t readv(intfd, const struct iovec *vector, intcount);

ssize_t writev(intfd, const struct iovec *vector, intcount);

描述

Thereadv() function reads count blocks from the file associated with the file descriptor fdinto the multiple buffers described by vector.

The writev() function writes at most count blocks described by vector to the file associated with the file descriptor fd.

The pointer vector points to a struct iovec defined in  as :

struct iovec {

void *iov_base; /* Starting address */

size_t iov_len; /* Number of bytes */

};

Buffers are processed in the order specified. The readv() function works just likeread(2) except that multiple buffers are filled.

The writev() function works just like write(2) except that multiple buffers are written out.

返回值

On success, the readv() function returns the number of bytes read; the writev() function returns the number of bytes written. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

错误

The errors are as given for read(2) and write(2). Additionally the following error is defined:

描述

EINVAL

The sum of the iov_len values overflows an ssize_t value. Or, the vector count count is less than zero or greater than the permitted maximum.

遵循于

4.4BSD (the readv() and writev() functions first appeared in 4.2BSD), POSIX.1-2001. Linux libc5 used size_t as the type of the count parameter, and int as return type for these functions.

LINUX 注意

POSIX.1-2001 allows an implementation to place a limit on the number of items that can be passed in vector. An implementation can advertise its limit by defining IOV_MAX in or at run time via the return value from sysconf(_SC_IOV_MAX). On Linux, the limit advertised by these mechanisms is 1024, which is the true kernel limit.

However, the glibc wrapper functions do some extra work if they detect that the underlying kernel system call failed because this limit was exceeded. In the case ofreadv() the wrapper function allocates a temporary buffer large enough for all of the items specified by vector, passes that buffer in a call to read(), copies data from the buffer to the locations specified by the iov_base fields of the elements of vector, and then frees the buffer.

The wrapper function for writev() performs the analogous task using a temporary buffer and a call to write().

BUGS

It is not advisable to mix calls to functions like readv() or writev(), which operate on file descriptors, with the functions from the stdio library; the results will be undefined and probably not what you want.
