NAME
aio.h, aio - asynchronous input and output SYNOPSIS
#include <aio.h> DESCRIPTION
The <aio.h> header defines the aiocb structure which includes the following members: int aio_fildes file descriptor off_t aio_offset file offset volatile void* aio_buf location of buffer size_t aio_nbytes length of transfer int aio_reqprio request priority offset struct sigevent aio_sigevent notification type int aio_lio_opcode listio operation This header also includes the following constants: AIO_ALLDONE A return value indicating that none of the requested operations could be canceled since they are already complete. AIO_CANCELED A return value indicating that all requested operations have been canceled. AIO_NOTCANCELED A return value indicating that some of the requested operations could not be canceled since they are in progress. LIO_NOP A lio_listio(3C) element operation option indicating that no transfer is requested. LIO_NOWAIT A lio_listio() synchronization operation indicating that the calling thread is to continue execution while the lio_lis- tio() operation is being performed, and notification is to be given when the operation is complete. LIO_READ A lio_listio() element operation option requesting a read. LIO_WAIT A lio_listio() synchronization operation indicating that the calling thread is to suspend until the lio_listio() opera- tion is complete. LIO_WRITE A lio_listio() element operation option requesting a write. SEE ALSO

NAME
aio.h - asynchronous input and output (REALTIME) SYNOPSIS
#include <aio.h> DESCRIPTION
The <aio.h> header shall define the aiocb structure which shall include at least the following members: int aio_fildes File descriptor. off_t aio_offset File offset. volatile void *aio_buf Location of buffer. size_t aio_nbytes Length of transfer. int aio_reqprio Request priority offset. struct sigevent aio_sigevent Signal number and value. int aio_lio_opcode Operation to be performed. This header shall also include the following constants: AIO_ALLDONE A return value indicating that none of the requested operations could be canceled since they are already complete. AIO_CANCELED A return value indicating that all requested operations have been canceled. AIO_NOTCANCELED A return value indicating that some of the requested operations could not be canceled since they are in progress. LIO_NOP A lio_listio() element operation option indicating that no transfer is requested. LIO_NOWAIT A lio_listio() synchronization operation indicating that the calling thread is to continue execution while the lio_listio() opera- tion is being performed, and no notification is given when the operation is complete. LIO_READ A lio_listio() element operation option requesting a read. LIO_WAIT A lio_listio() synchronization operation indicating that the calling thread is to suspend until the lio_listio() operation is com- plete. LIO_WRITE A lio_listio() element operation option requesting a write. The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided. int aio_cancel(int, struct aiocb *); int aio_error(const struct aiocb *); int aio_fsync(int, struct aiocb *); int aio_read(struct aiocb *); ssize_t aio_return(struct aiocb *); int aio_suspend(const struct aiocb *const[], int, const struct timespec *); int aio_write(struct aiocb *); int lio_listio(int, struct aiocb *restrict const[restrict], int, struct sigevent *restrict); Inclusion of the <aio.h> header may make visible symbols defined in the headers <fcntl.h>, <signal.h>, <sys/types.h>, and <time.h>.
