# Q\_XQUOTASYNC(2const)

no-op

## NAME

Q\_XQUOTASYNC - no-op

## LIBRARY

Standard C library (*libc*, *-lc*)

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <xfs/xqm.h>      /* See quotactl(2) */
#include <sys/quota.h>
```

\[\[deprecated\]\] **int quotactl(QCMD(Q\_XQUOTASYNC,** *type***), NULL, 0, NULL);**

**#include \<xfs/xqm.h\>**      /\* See [quotactl\_fd(2)](/quotactl_fd/2.md) \*/ **#include \<sys/syscall.h\>**  /\* Definition of **SYS\_\*** constants \*/ **#include \<unistd.h\>**

\[\[deprecated\]\] **int syscall(SYS\_quotactl\_fd, int** *fd***, QCMD(Q\_XQUOTASYNC,** *type***));**

## DESCRIPTION

This operation was an XFS quota equivalent to [**Q\_SYNC**(2const)](/Q_SYNC/2const.md), but it is no-op since Linux 3.4, as [**sync**(1)](/sync/1.md) writes quota information to disk now (in addition to the other filesystem metadata that it writes out).

## RETURN VALUE

See [**quotactl**(2)](/quotactl/2.md)

## ERRORS

See [**quotactl**(2)](/quotactl/2.md)

## STANDARDS

Linux.

## HISTORY

Linux 2.6.15. No-op since Linux 3.4.
