How to force write of file with filedescriptor fd to disk using Python?
You have to use the fdatasync(fd) function to force write of file with filedescriptor fd to disk. It does not force update of metadata. Also note that this is only available on Unix.
A more cross platform solution would be to use fsync(fd) as it force write of file with filedescriptor fd to disk. On Unix, this calls the native fsync() function; on Windows, the MS _commit() function.
Example
import os, sys # Open a file fd = os.open( "foo.txt", os.O_RDWR|os.O_CREAT ) os.write(fd, "This is test") # Now you can use fsync() method. os.fsync(fd) # Now read this file from the beginning os.lseek(fd, 0, 0) str = os.read(fd, 100) print "Read String is : ", str os.close( fd )
Output
When we run above program, it produces following result:
Read String is : This is test
