Hello!
I'm writing an utility that should examine some bytes of a large file
and modify them - that't all. I've decided to mmap() the file:
void *diskp;
if ((fd=open(argv[1], O_RDWR)) == -1)
err(EX_NOINPUT, "Can't open %s for readind and writing", argv[1]);
if ((diskp=mmap(NULL, 512,
PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, 0, fd, 0)) == MAP_FAILED)
err(EX_IOERR, "Can't mmap() file");
printf("<%c>\n",* (char *)diskp);
* (char *)diskp = '!';
if (msync(diskp, 0, MS_SYNC) || close(fd))
err(EX_IOERR, "Error closing file");
All proceeds w/o errors with the sample (2 bytes long) file, printf()
shows actual first byte of my file. But modification doesn't get written back
to the disk, file contents are unchanged after execution of my code. I'm sure
I'm overlooking something very basic and stupid, but can't find what exactly.
munmap(2)?
