+.Dt FDATASYNC 2
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm fdatasync
+.Nd synchronize the data of a file
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In unistd.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn fdatasync "int fd"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn fdatasync
+function forces all modified data associated with the file descriptor
+.Fa fd
+to be flushed to stable storage.
+.Pp
+The functionality is as described for
+.Xr fsync 2 ,
+with the exception that file status information need not be synchronized,
+which may result in a performance gain, compared to
+.Xr fsync 2 .
+This behaviour is commonly known as
+.Bf -symbolic
+synchronized I/O data integrity completion.
+.Ef
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+A value of 0 is returned on success.
+Otherwise, a value \-1 is returned and
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn fdatasync
+function will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EBADF
+The
+.Fa fd
+argument is not a valid file descriptor.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+This implementation does not support synchronized I/O for this file.
+.It Bq Er ENOSYS
+The
+.Fn fdatasync
+function is not supported by this implementation.
+.El
+.Pp
+In the event that any of the I/O operations to be performed fail,
+.Fn fdatasync
+returns the error conditions defined for
+.Xr read 2
+and
+.Xr write 2 ,
+and outstanding I/O operations are not guaranteed to have been completed.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr fsync 2 ,
+.Xr open 2 ,
+.Xr read 2 ,
+.Xr write 2
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn fdatasync
+function conforms to
+.St -p1003.1-2008 .
