NAME
       libaio - asynchronous I/O library

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -laio [ library... ]

DESCRIPTION
       Historically, functions in this library provided asynchronous I/O operations. This functionality now resides inlibc(3LIB)

       This  library  is  maintained  to  provide  backward compatibility for both runtime and compilation environments. The shared	 object is
       implemented as a filter on libc.so.1. New application development need not specify -laio.

INTERFACES
       The shared object libaio.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object inter-
       faces.

       aiocancel		     aioread
       aiowait			     aiowrite
       assfail			     close
       fork			     sigaction

       The following interfaces are unique to the 32-bit version of this library:

       aioread64		     aiowrite64

FILES
       /lib/libaio.so.1       shared object

       /lib/64/libaio.so.1    64-bit shared object
