aio_return

AIO_RETURN(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						     AIO_RETURN(3)

NAME

       aio_return - get return status of asynchronous I/O operation

SYNOPSIS

       #include <aio.h>

       ssize_t aio_return(struct aiocb *aiocbp);

       Link with -lrt.

DESCRIPTION

       The  aio_return()  function returns the final return status for the asynchronous I/O request with control block pointed to by aiocbp.  (See
       aio(7) for a description of the aiocb structure.)

       This function should be called only once for any given request, after aio_error(3) returns something other than EINPROGRESS.

RETURN VALUE

       If the asynchronous I/O operation has completed, this function returns the value that would have been returned in  case	of  a  synchronous
       read(2), write(2), fsync(2) or fdatasync(2), call.

       If the asynchronous I/O operation has not yet completed, the return value and effect of aio_return() are undefined.

ERRORS

       EINVAL aiocbp does not point at a control block for an asynchronous I/O request of which the return status has not been retrieved yet.

       ENOSYS aio_return() is not implemented.

VERSIONS

       The aio_return() function is available since glibc 2.1.

ATTRIBUTES

   Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
       The aio_return() function is thread-safe.

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.

EXAMPLE

       See aio(7).
