tcdrain - wait for transmission of output
&pagelevel(4)&pagelevel
Syntax | #include <termios.h> int tcdrain (int fildes); |
Description | tcdrain() waits until all output written to the object specified by fildes is transmitted. The fildes argument is an open file descriptor associated with a terminal.
Any attempts to use tcdrain() from a process which is a member of a background process group on a fildes associated with its controlling terminal, will cause the process group to be sent a SIGTTOU signal. If the calling process is blocking or ignoring SIGTTOU signals, the process is allowed to perform the operation, and no signal is sent. |
Return val. | 0 -1 | if successful. If an error occurs. errno is set to indicate the error. |
Errors | tcdrain() will fail if:
|
| EBADF
| fildes is not a valid file descriptor. |
| EINTR
| A signal was caught during the tcdrain() system call. |
| Extension
|
| EINVAL
| An attempt was made to access a BS2000 file. (End) |
| EIO
| The process group of the writing process is orphaned, and the writing process is not ignoring or blocking SIGTTOU . |
| ENOTTY
| The file associated with fildes is not a terminal. |
Notes | tcdrain() has no effect on block-mode terminals.
