+
+File system operations
+======================
+
+libuv provides a wide variety of cross-platform sync and async file system
+operations. All functions defined in this document take a callback, which is
+allowed to be NULL. If the callback is NULL the request is completed synchronously,
+otherwise it will be performed asynchronously.
+
+All file operations are run on the threadpool. See :ref:`threadpool` for information
+on the threadpool size.
+
+Starting with libuv v1.45.0, some file operations on Linux are handed off to
+`io_uring <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Io_uring>` when possible. Apart from
+a (sometimes significant) increase in throughput there should be no change in
+observable behavior. Libuv reverts to using its threadpool when the necessary
+kernel features are unavailable or unsuitable. Starting with libuv v1.49.0 this
+behavior was reverted and Libuv on Linux by default will be using the threadpool
+again. In order to enable io_uring the :c:type:`uv_loop_t` instance must be
+configured with the :c:type:`UV_LOOP_ENABLE_IO_URING_SQPOLL` option.
+
+.. note::
+     On Windows `uv_fs_*` functions use utf-8 encoding.

+
+    Path affecting the request.
+
+.. c:member:: ssize_t uv_fs_t.result
+
+    Result of the request. < 0 means error, success otherwise. On requests such
+    as :c:func:`uv_fs_read` or :c:func:`uv_fs_write` it indicates the amount of
+    data that was read or written, respectively.
+
+.. c:member:: uv_stat_t uv_fs_t.statbuf
+
+    Stores the result of :c:func:`uv_fs_stat` and other stat requests.
+
+.. c:member:: void* uv_fs_t.ptr
+
+    Stores the result of :c:func:`uv_fs_readlink` and

+.. seealso:: The :c:type:`uv_req_t` members also apply.
+
+
+API
+---
+
+.. c:function:: void uv_fs_req_cleanup(uv_fs_t* req)
+
+    Cleanup request. Must be called after a request is finished to deallocate
+    any memory libuv might have allocated.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_close(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, uv_file file, uv_fs_cb cb)

+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_open(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, int flags, int mode, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`open(2)`.
+
+    .. note::
+        On Windows libuv uses `CreateFileW` and thus the file is always opened
+        in binary mode. Because of this the O_BINARY and O_TEXT flags are not
+        supported.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_read(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, uv_file file, const uv_buf_t bufs[], unsigned int nbufs, int64_t offset, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`preadv(2)`. If the `offset` argument is `-1`, then
+    the current file offset is used and updated.
+
+    .. warning::
+        On Windows, under non-MSVC environments (e.g. when GCC or Clang is used
+        to build libuv), files opened using ``UV_FS_O_FILEMAP`` may cause a fatal
+        crash if the memory mapped read operation fails.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_unlink(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`unlink(2)`.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_write(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, uv_file file, const uv_buf_t bufs[], unsigned int nbufs, int64_t offset, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`pwritev(2)`. If the `offset` argument is `-1`, then
+    the current file offset is used and updated.
+
+    .. warning::
+        On Windows, under non-MSVC environments (e.g. when GCC or Clang is used
+        to build libuv), files opened using ``UV_FS_O_FILEMAP`` may cause a fatal
+        crash if the memory mapped write operation fails.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_mkdir(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, int mode, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`mkdir(2)`.
+
+    .. note::
+        `mode` is currently not implemented on Windows.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_mkdtemp(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* tpl, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`mkdtemp(3)`. The result can be found as a null terminated string at `req->path`.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_mkstemp(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* tpl, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`mkstemp(3)`. The created file path can be found as a null terminated string at `req->path`.
+    The file descriptor can be found as an integer at `req->result`.
+
+    .. versionadded:: 1.34.0
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_rmdir(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`rmdir(2)`.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_opendir(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Opens `path` as a directory stream. On success, a `uv_dir_t` is allocated
+    and returned via `req->ptr`. This memory is not freed by
+    `uv_fs_req_cleanup()`, although `req->ptr` is set to `NULL`. The allocated
+    memory must be freed by calling `uv_fs_closedir()`. On failure, no memory
+    is allocated.
+
+    The contents of the directory can be iterated over by passing the resulting
+    `uv_dir_t` to `uv_fs_readdir()`.
+
+    .. versionadded:: 1.28.0
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_closedir(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, uv_dir_t* dir, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Closes the directory stream represented by `dir` and frees the memory
+    allocated by `uv_fs_opendir()`.
+
+    .. versionadded:: 1.28.0
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_readdir(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, uv_dir_t* dir, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Iterates over the directory stream, `dir`, returned by a successful
+    `uv_fs_opendir()` call. Prior to invoking `uv_fs_readdir()`, the caller
+    must set `dir->dirents` and `dir->nentries`, representing the array of
+    :c:type:`uv_dirent_t` elements used to hold the read directory entries and
+    its size.
+
+    On success, the result is an integer >= 0 representing the number of entries
+    read from the stream.
+
+    .. versionadded:: 1.28.0
+
+    .. warning::
+        `uv_fs_readdir()` is not thread safe.
+
+    .. note::
+        This function does not return the "." and ".." entries.
+
+    .. note::
+        On success this function allocates memory that must be freed using
+        `uv_fs_req_cleanup()`. `uv_fs_req_cleanup()` must be called before
+        closing the directory with `uv_fs_closedir()`.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_scandir(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, int flags, uv_fs_cb cb)
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_scandir_next(uv_fs_t* req, uv_dirent_t* ent)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`scandir(3)`, with a slightly different API. Once the callback
+    for the request is called, the user can use :c:func:`uv_fs_scandir_next` to
+    get `ent` populated with the next directory entry data. When there are no
+    more entries ``UV_EOF`` will be returned.
+
+    .. note::
+        Unlike `scandir(3)`, this function does not return the "." and ".." entries.
+
+    .. note::
+        On Linux, getting the type of an entry is only supported by some file systems (btrfs, ext2,
+        ext3 and ext4 at the time of this writing), check the :man:`getdents(2)` man page.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_stat(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, uv_fs_cb cb)
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_fstat(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, uv_file file, uv_fs_cb cb)
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_lstat(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`stat(2)`, :man:`fstat(2)` and :man:`lstat(2)` respectively.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_statfs(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`statfs(2)`. On success, a `uv_statfs_t` is allocated
+    and returned via `req->ptr`. This memory is freed by `uv_fs_req_cleanup()`.
+
+    .. note::
+        Any fields in the resulting `uv_statfs_t` that are not supported by the
+        underlying operating system are set to zero.
+
+    .. versionadded:: 1.31.0
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_rename(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, const char* new_path, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`rename(2)`.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_fsync(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, uv_file file, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`fsync(2)`.
+
+    .. note::
+        For AIX, `uv_fs_fsync` returns `UV_EBADF` on file descriptors referencing
+        non regular files.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_fdatasync(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, uv_file file, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`fdatasync(2)`.
+

+    Equivalent to :man:`ftruncate(2)`.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_copyfile(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, const char* new_path, int flags, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Copies a file from `path` to `new_path`. Supported `flags` are described below.
+
+    - `UV_FS_COPYFILE_EXCL`: If present, `uv_fs_copyfile()` will fail with
+      `UV_EEXIST` if the destination path already exists. The default behavior
+      is to overwrite the destination if it exists.
+    - `UV_FS_COPYFILE_FICLONE`: If present, `uv_fs_copyfile()` will attempt to
+      create a copy-on-write reflink. If the underlying platform does not
+      support copy-on-write, or an error occurs while attempting to use
+      copy-on-write, a fallback copy mechanism based on
+      :c:func:`uv_fs_sendfile()` is used.
+    - `UV_FS_COPYFILE_FICLONE_FORCE`: If present, `uv_fs_copyfile()` will
+      attempt to create a copy-on-write reflink. If the underlying platform does
+      not support copy-on-write, or an error occurs while attempting to use
+      copy-on-write, then an error is returned.
+
+    .. warning::
+        If the destination path is created, but an error occurs while copying
+        the data, then the destination path is removed. There is a brief window
+        of time between closing and removing the file where another process
+        could access the file.
+
+    .. versionadded:: 1.14.0
+
+    .. versionchanged:: 1.20.0 `UV_FS_COPYFILE_FICLONE` and
+        `UV_FS_COPYFILE_FICLONE_FORCE` are supported.
+
+    .. versionchanged:: 1.33.0 If an error occurs while using
+        `UV_FS_COPYFILE_FICLONE_FORCE`, that error is returned. Previously,
+        all errors were mapped to `UV_ENOTSUP`.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_sendfile(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, uv_file out_fd, uv_file in_fd, int64_t in_offset, size_t length, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Limited equivalent to :man:`sendfile(2)`.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_access(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, int mode, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`access(2)` on Unix. Windows uses ``GetFileAttributesW()``.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_chmod(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, int mode, uv_fs_cb cb)
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_fchmod(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, uv_file file, int mode, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`chmod(2)` and :man:`fchmod(2)` respectively.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_utime(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, double atime, double mtime, uv_fs_cb cb)
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_futime(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, uv_file file, double atime, double mtime, uv_fs_cb cb)
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_lutime(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, double atime, double mtime, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`utime(2)`, :man:`futimes(3)` and :man:`lutimes(3)` respectively.
+
+    Passing `UV_FS_UTIME_NOW` as the atime or mtime sets the timestamp to the
+    current time.
+
+    Passing `UV_FS_UTIME_OMIT` as the atime or mtime leaves the timestamp
+    untouched.
+
+    .. note::
+      z/OS: `uv_fs_lutime()` is not implemented for z/OS. It can still be called but will return
+      ``UV_ENOSYS``.
+
+    .. note::
+      AIX: `uv_fs_futime()` and `uv_fs_lutime()` functions only work for AIX 7.1 and newer.
+      They can still be called on older versions but will return ``UV_ENOSYS``.
+
+    .. versionchanged:: 1.10.0 sub-second precission is supported on Windows
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_link(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, const char* new_path, uv_fs_cb cb)

+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_symlink(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, const char* new_path, int flags, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`symlink(2)`.
+
+    .. note::
+        On Windows the `flags` parameter can be specified to control how the symlink will
+        be created:
+
+            * ``UV_FS_SYMLINK_DIR``: indicates that `path` points to a directory.
+
+            * ``UV_FS_SYMLINK_JUNCTION``: request that the symlink is created
+              using junction points.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_readlink(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`readlink(2)`.
+    The resulting string is stored in `req->ptr`.
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_fs_realpath(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_fs_t* req, const char* path, uv_fs_cb cb)
+
+    Equivalent to :man:`realpath(3)` on Unix. Windows uses `GetFinalPathNameByHandleW <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/fileapi/nf-fileapi-getfinalpathnamebyhandlew>`_.
+    The resulting string is stored in `req->ptr`.
+
+    .. warning::
+        This function has certain platform-specific caveats that were discovered when used in Node.
+
+        * macOS and other BSDs: this function will fail with UV_ELOOP if more than 32 symlinks are
+          found while resolving the given path.  This limit is hardcoded and cannot be sidestepped.
+        * Windows: while this function works in the common case, there are a number of corner cases
+          where it doesn't:
+
+          - Paths in ramdisk volumes created by tools which sidestep the Volume Manager (such as ImDisk)
+            cannot be resolved.
+          - Inconsistent casing when using drive letters.
+          - Resolved path bypasses subst'd drives.
+
+        While this function can still be used, it's not recommended if scenarios such as the
+        above need to be supported.
+
+        The background story and some more details on these issues can be checked
+        `here <https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/7726>`_.

+Helper functions
+----------------
+
+.. c:function:: uv_os_fd_t uv_get_osfhandle(int fd)
+
+   For a file descriptor in the C runtime, get the OS-dependent handle.
+   On UNIX, returns the ``fd`` intact. On Windows, this calls `_get_osfhandle <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/get-osfhandle?view=vs-2019>`_.
+   Note that the return value is still owned by the C runtime,
+   any attempts to close it or to use it after closing the fd may lead to malfunction.
+
+    .. versionadded:: 1.12.0
+
+.. c:function:: int uv_open_osfhandle(uv_os_fd_t os_fd)
+
+   For a OS-dependent handle, get the file descriptor in the C runtime.
+   On UNIX, returns the ``os_fd`` intact. On Windows, this calls `_open_osfhandle <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/open-osfhandle?view=vs-2019>`_.
+   Note that this consumes the argument, any attempts to close it or to use it
+   after closing the return value may lead to malfunction.

+
+File open constants
+-------------------
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_APPEND
+
+    The file is opened in append mode. Before each write, the file offset is
+    positioned at the end of the file.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_CREAT
+
+    The file is created if it does not already exist.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_DIRECT
+
+    File I/O is done directly to and from user-space buffers, which must be
+    aligned. Buffer size and address should be a multiple of the physical sector
+    size of the block device.
+
+    .. note::
+        `UV_FS_O_DIRECT` is supported on Linux, and on Windows via
+        `FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/file-buffering>`_.
+        `UV_FS_O_DIRECT` is not supported on macOS.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_DIRECTORY
+
+    If the path is not a directory, fail the open.
+
+    .. note::
+        `UV_FS_O_DIRECTORY` is not supported on Windows.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_DSYNC
+
+    The file is opened for synchronous I/O. Write operations will complete once
+    all data and a minimum of metadata are flushed to disk.
+
+    .. note::
+        `UV_FS_O_DSYNC` is supported on Windows via
+        `FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/file-buffering>`_.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_EXCL
+
+    If the `O_CREAT` flag is set and the file already exists, fail the open.
+
+    .. note::
+        In general, the behavior of `O_EXCL` is undefined if it is used without
+        `O_CREAT`. There is one exception: on Linux 2.6 and later, `O_EXCL` can
+        be used without `O_CREAT` if pathname refers to a block device. If the
+        block device is in use by the system (e.g., mounted), the open will fail
+        with the error `EBUSY`.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_EXLOCK
+
+    Atomically obtain an exclusive lock.
+
+    .. note::
+        `UV_FS_O_EXLOCK` is only supported on macOS and Windows.
+
+    .. versionchanged:: 1.17.0 support is added for Windows.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_FILEMAP
+
+    Use a memory file mapping to access the file. When using this flag, the
+    file cannot be open multiple times concurrently.
+
+    .. note::
+        `UV_FS_O_FILEMAP` is only supported on Windows.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_NOATIME
+
+    Do not update the file access time when the file is read.
+
+    .. note::
+        `UV_FS_O_NOATIME` is not supported on Windows.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_NOCTTY
+
+    If the path identifies a terminal device, opening the path will not cause
+    that terminal to become the controlling terminal for the process (if the
+    process does not already have one).
+
+    .. note::
+        `UV_FS_O_NOCTTY` is not supported on Windows.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_NOFOLLOW
+
+    If the path is a symbolic link, fail the open.
+
+    .. note::
+        `UV_FS_O_NOFOLLOW` is not supported on Windows.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_NONBLOCK
+
+    Open the file in nonblocking mode if possible.
+
+    .. note::
+        `UV_FS_O_NONBLOCK` is not supported on Windows.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_RANDOM
+
+    Access is intended to be random. The system can use this as a hint to
+    optimize file caching.
+
+    .. note::
+        `UV_FS_O_RANDOM` is only supported on Windows via
+        `FILE_FLAG_RANDOM_ACCESS <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/fileapi/nf-fileapi-createfilew>`_.

+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_RDONLY
+
+    Open the file for read-only access.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_RDWR
+
+    Open the file for read-write access.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_SEQUENTIAL
+
+    Access is intended to be sequential from beginning to end. The system can
+    use this as a hint to optimize file caching.
+
+    .. note::
+        `UV_FS_O_SEQUENTIAL` is only supported on Windows via
+        `FILE_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL_SCAN <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/fileapi/nf-fileapi-createfilew>`_.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_SHORT_LIVED
+
+    The file is temporary and should not be flushed to disk if possible.
+
+    .. note::
+        `UV_FS_O_SHORT_LIVED` is only supported on Windows via
+        `FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/fileapi/nf-fileapi-createfilew>`_.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_SYMLINK
+
+    Open the symbolic link itself rather than the resource it points to.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_SYNC
+
+    The file is opened for synchronous I/O. Write operations will complete once
+    all data and all metadata are flushed to disk.
+
+    .. note::
+        `UV_FS_O_SYNC` is supported on Windows via
+        `FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/file-buffering>`_.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_TEMPORARY
+
+    The file is temporary and should not be flushed to disk if possible.
+
+    .. note::
+        `UV_FS_O_TEMPORARY` is only supported on Windows via
+        `FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/fileapi/nf-fileapi-createfilew>`_.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_TRUNC
+
+    If the file exists and is a regular file, and the file is opened
+    successfully for write access, its length shall be truncated to zero.
+
+.. c:macro:: UV_FS_O_WRONLY
+
+    Open the file for write-only access.
