Hi,
I have a question concerning the buffer cache. Suppose I read data from a file into a local variable and change it. What happen whe I read it again? Does linux read from the file or from the buffer cache?
example: ... read(fd, buf, buf_size); for (i = 0; i < buf_size; i += 512) buf[i] &= 1; ... read(fd, buf, buf_size); /* where does I read from? */ ...
