Hi everyone i am trying to use direct I/O but have no idea for where to refer and how to use it can someone please help me with the material or a bit of refernce.

added some links above trying to implement this and how to implement this in terminal

I am a beginner so have very less knowledge about it so any help is appreciated.

Sorry. Your question is not clear enough. What do you mean by direct I/O? Is there a reference you can cite which explains better what you're trying to do? There are a lot of ways to perform I/O.

Were I to be even the least bit cynical, I would have to say this seems like a bot. Not the least research has been done.

i want to implement the theory given in these links so wanted to know the method for implementation of Direct I/O or some reference for it. Or how can i use these commands in terminal; Really a ameature so any help is appreciated

You're right about amateur, at least that first blog.

This is kernel and how it behaves. I'm sure you can find code there.

The guidance to use dd with the direct option is tip #1. The source for dd is available and likely you can view in that code exactly what it does for this type of mode.

Now, what's your need?

Storytelling: Ere long ago I had a process collecting long time job activity data, a lot of data. When done they wanted to dock the tool and grab the data ASAP. What they'd see was the file, but incomplete because it hadn't synced yet. The solution which worked was that the data was collected to a temporary file, when the job process completed, I forked a child to exec a rename to the intended record name, then exited that child process. The parent seeing the signal meant the file was now ready, for real. Because when a process terms, all open file handles must be resolved. Worked for me.
