Function aofWrite

src/aof.cpp:335–352

This is a wrapper to the write syscall in order to retry on short writes * or if the syscall gets interrupted. It could look strange that we retry * on short writes given that we are writing to a block device: normally if * the first call is short, there is a end-of-space condition, so the next * is likely to fail. However apparently in modern systems this is no longer * true, and in general

 * true, and in general it looks just more resilient to retry the write. If
 * there is an actual error condition we'll get it at the next try. */
