# filemap\_write\_and\_wait\_range(9)

write out & wait on a file range

## NAME

filemap\_write\_and\_wait\_range - write out & wait on a file range

## SYNOPSIS

**int filemap\_write\_and\_wait\_range(struct address\_space \*** *mapping***, loff\_t** *lstart***, loff\_t** *lend***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*mapping*

the address\_space for the pages

*lstart*

offset in bytes where the range starts

*lend*

offset in bytes where the range ends (inclusive)

## DESCRIPTION

Write out and wait upon file offsets lstart-\>lend, inclusive.

Note that \`lend' is inclusive (describes the last byte to be written) so that this function can be used to write to the very end-of-file (end = -1).
