io_prep_pread is an inline convenience function designed to facilitate the initialization of the iocb for an asynchronous read operation.

The first iocb->u.c.nbytes = count bytes of the file for which iocb->aio_fildes = fd is a descriptor are written to the buffer starting at iocb->u.c.buf = buf. Reading starts at the absolute position ioc->u.c.offset = offset in the file.

This function returns immediately. To schedule the operation, the function io_submit must be called.

Simultaneous asynchronous operations using the same iocb produce undefined results.
