AIO_RETURN(3)

AIO_RETURN(3) | Library Functions Manual | AIO_RETURN(3)

# NAME

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

# LIBRARY

POSIX Real-time Library (librt, -lrt)

# SYNOPSIS

#include <aio.h>

ssize_t
aio_return(struct aiocb *aiocbp);

# DESCRIPTION

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

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(3) 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 aiocbp argument does not reference a completed asynchronous I/O request.

# SEE ALSO

fsync(2), read(2), write(2), aio(3)

# STANDARDS

The aio_return() system call is expected to conform to the IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”) standard.

# HISTORY

The aio_return() system call first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
