Constant Summary

NONE =

No guarantees about file consistency or durability.
The most dangerous setting, which is slightly faster than other settings.

0 or :none

CONSISTENT =

Guarantee file consistency: after a crash,
either the old version of the file or the new version of the file will be
available, but not a mixture. On Unix systems this equates to an fsync()
on the file and use of an atomic rename() of the new version of the file
over the old.

1 or :consistent

DURABLE =

Guarantee file durability: after a crash, the
new version of the file will be available. On Unix systems this equates to
an fsync() on the file (if %G_FILE_SET_CONTENTS_CONSISTENT is unset), or
the effects of %G_FILE_SET_CONTENTS_CONSISTENT plus an fsync() on the
directory containing the file after calling rename().

2 or :durable

ONLY_EXISTING =

Only apply consistency and durability
guarantees if the file already exists. This may speed up file operations
if the file doesn’t currently exist, but may result in a corrupted version
of the new file if the system crashes while writing it.

4 or :only_existing
