PROLOG

NAME

       aio_error - retrieve errors status for an asynchronous I/O operation (REALTIME)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <aio.h>

       int aio_error(const struct aiocb *aiocbp);

DESCRIPTION

       The aio_error() function shall return the error status associated with the aiocb structure referenced by the  aiocbp  argument.	The  error
       status  for  an	asynchronous  I/O  operation is the errno value that would be set by the corresponding read(), write(),   fdatasync(),	or
       fsync() operation. If the operation has not yet completed, then the error status shall be equal to [EINPROGRESS].

RETURN VALUE

       If the asynchronous I/O operation has completed successfully, then 0 shall be returned. If the asynchronous operation has completed  unsuc-
       cessfully,  then  the  error status, as described for read(), write(),	fdatasync(),  and fsync(), shall be returned.  If the asynchronous
       I/O operation has not yet completed, then [EINPROGRESS] shall be returned.

ERRORS

       The aio_error() function may fail if:

       EINVAL The aiocbp argument does not refer to an asynchronous operation whose return status has not yet been retrieved.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       The aio_error() function is part of the Asynchronous Input and Output option and need not be available on all implementations.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.

NAME

       aio_fsync - asynchronous file synchronization (REALTIME)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <aio.h>

       int aio_fsync(int op, struct aiocb *aiocbp);

DESCRIPTION

       The aio_fsync() function shall asynchronously force all I/O operations associated with the file indicated by the file descriptor aio_fildes
       member  of  the aiocb structure referenced by the aiocbp argument and queued at the time of the call to aio_fsync() to the synchronized I/O
       completion state. The function call shall return when the synchronization request has been initiated or queued to the file or device  (even
       when the data cannot be synchronized immediately).

       If  op  is O_DSYNC, all currently queued I/O operations shall be completed as if by a call to fdatasync(); that is, as defined for synchro-
       nized I/O data integrity completion. If op is O_SYNC, all currently queued I/O operations shall be completed as if by a	call  to  fsync();
       that  is,  as  defined  for  synchronized  I/O  file integrity completion. If the aio_fsync() function fails, or if the operation queued by
       aio_fsync() fails, then, as for fsync() and fdatasync(), outstanding I/O operations are not guaranteed to have been completed.

       If aio_fsync() succeeds, then it is only the I/O that was queued at the time of the call to aio_fsync() that is guaranteed to be forced	to
       the  relevant completion state. The completion of subsequent I/O on the file descriptor is not guaranteed to be completed in a synchronized
       fashion.

       The aiocbp argument refers to an asynchronous I/O control block.  The  aiocbp  value  may  be  used  as	an  argument  to  aio_error()  and
       aio_return()  in order to determine the error status and return status, respectively, of the asynchronous operation while it is proceeding.
       When the request is queued, the error status for the operation is [EINPROGRESS].  When all data	has  been  successfully  transferred,  the
       error status shall be reset to reflect the success or failure of the operation.	If the operation does not complete successfully, the error
       status for the operation shall be set to indicate the error.  The aio_sigevent member determines the asynchronous notification to occur	as
       specified  in Signal Generation and Delivery when all operations have achieved synchronized I/O completion. All other members of the struc-
       ture referenced by aiocbp are ignored.  If the control block referenced by aiocbp becomes an illegal address prior to asynchronous I/O com-
       pletion, then the behavior is undefined.

       If the aio_fsync() function fails or aiocbp indicates an error condition, data is not guaranteed to have been successfully transferred.

RETURN VALUE

       The  aio_fsync() function shall return the value 0 to the calling process if the I/O operation is successfully queued; otherwise, the func-
       tion shall return the value -1 and set errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The aio_fsync() function shall fail if:

       EAGAIN The requested asynchronous operation was not queued due to temporary resource limitations.

       EBADF  The aio_fildes member of the aiocb structure referenced by the aiocbp argument is not a valid file descriptor open for writing.

       EINVAL This implementation does not support synchronized I/O for this file.

       EINVAL A value of op other than O_DSYNC or O_SYNC was specified.

       In the event that any of the queued I/O operations fail, aio_fsync() shall return the error condition defined for read() and write().   The
       error is returned in the error status for the asynchronous fsync() operation, which can be retrieved using aio_error().

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       The aio_fsync() function is part of the Asynchronous Input and Output option and need not be available on all implementations.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
