NAME
io_submit - submit asynchronous I/O blocks for processing SYNOPSIS
#include <libaio.h> int io_submit(aio_context_t ctx_id, long nr, struct iocb **iocbpp); Link with -laio. DESCRIPTION
io_submit() queues nr I/O request blocks for processing in the AIO context ctx_id. iocbpp should be an array of nr AIO control blocks, which will be submitted to context ctx_id. RETURN VALUE
On success, io_submit() returns the number of iocbs submitted (which may be 0 if nr is zero). For the failure return, see NOTES. ERRORS
EAGAIN Insufficient resources are available to queue any iocbs. EBADF The file descriptor specified in the first iocb is invalid. EFAULT One of the data structures points to invalid data. EINVAL The aio_context specified by ctx_id is invalid. nr is less than 0. The iocb at *iocbpp[0] is not properly initialized, or the operation specified is invalid for the file descriptor in the iocb. ENOSYS io_submit() is not implemented on this architecture. VERSIONS
The asynchronous I/O system calls first appeared in Linux 2.5, August 2002. CONFORMING TO
io_submit() is Linux-specific and should not be used in programs that are intended to be portable. NOTES
Glibc does not provide a wrapper function for this system call. The wrapper provided in libaio for io_submit() does not follow the usual C library conventions for indicating error: on error it returns a negated error number (the negative of one of the values listed in ERRORS). If the system call is invoked via syscall(2), then the return value follows the usual conventions for indicating an error: -1, with errno set to a (positive) value that indicates the error. SEE ALSO

NAME
io_cancel - cancel an outstanding asynchronous I/O operation SYNOPSIS
#include <libaio.h> int io_cancel(aio_context_t ctx_id, struct iocb *iocb, struct io_event *result); Link with -laio. DESCRIPTION
io_cancel() attempts to cancel an asynchronous I/O operation previously submitted with io_submit(2). ctx_id is the AIO context ID of the operation to be canceled. If the AIO context is found, the event will be canceled and then copied into the memory pointed to by result without being placed into the completion queue. RETURN VALUE
On success, io_cancel() returns 0. For the failure return, see NOTES. ERRORS
EAGAIN The iocb specified was not canceled. EFAULT One of the data structures points to invalid data. EINVAL The AIO context specified by ctx_id is invalid. ENOSYS io_cancel() is not implemented on this architecture. VERSIONS
