cause a message to be written to disk.

If flags includes EC_MSG_SWAP_OUT_DROP_BODY, then the resources used to reference the message contents will be released after the message has been saved to disk.

If refs is not NULL, then it is assumed to be a message that shares the same content as mess; the underlying IO system may then employ optimizations for storing the message, such as filesystem hard linking.

Parameters

Return Values

Returns EC_MSG_SWAP_RESULT_ERR (0) on error, EC_MSG_SWAP_RESULT_COMPLETE (1) on success.

This function may induce IO or otherwise block the caller. Blocking in the scheduler thread will lead to degraded performance and should be avoided at all costs. If your code is running in the IO subsystem, the core will have already taken steps to ensure that blocking is acceptable. Otherwise, you should look at using the thread pool API to run a job in the IO pool.
