AIO_RETURN(2)						      BSD System Calls Manual						     AIO_RETURN(2)

NAME
     aio_return -- retrieve return status of asynchronous I/O operation (REALTIME)

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <aio.h>

     int
     aio_return(struct aiocb *iocb);

DESCRIPTION
     The aio_return() system call returns the final status of the asynchronous I/O request associated with the structure pointed to by iocb.

     The aio_return() system call should only be called once, to obtain the final status of an asynchronous I/O operation once it has completed
     (aio_error(2) returns something other than EINPROGRESS).

RETURN VALUES
     If the asynchronous I/O request has completed, the status is returned as described in read(2), write(2), or fsync(2).  Otherwise,
     aio_return() returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error condition.

ERRORS
     The aio_return() system call will fail if:

     [EINVAL]		The iocb argument does not reference a completed asynchronous I/O request.

SEE ALSO
     aio_cancel(2), aio_error(2), aio_suspend(2), aio_waitcomplete(2), aio_write(2), fsync(2), read(2), write(2), aio(4)

STANDARDS
     The aio_return() system call is expected to conform to the IEEE Std 1003.1 (``POSIX.1'') standard.

HISTORY
     The aio_return() system call first appeared in FreeBSD 3.0.
