Just to complete the information, I am trying to read a file with 5
bytes, and here is the piece of code I am using:
char *message;
int fd =3D open("/var/tmp/testopen.txt", O_RDONLY|O_DIRECT);
int len, pagesize =3D getpagesize();
posix_memalign((void **)&message, pagesize, pagesize);
if(fd < 0) {
printf("Unable to open file, errno is %d.\n", errno);
} else {
if((len =3D read(fd, message, pagesize)) < 0) {
perror("read");
} else {
printf("%d bytes read from file.\n", len);
printf("Message: %s", message);
}
}
close(fd);
Thanks,
Bruno.
