aio_return(2)

aio_return2

Retrieve return status of asynchronous i/o operation (realtime)

Usage

#include <aio.h>

int

aio_return(struct aiocb *iocb);

Library

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

Overview

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 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). On failure, 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 an outstanding asynchronous I/O request.

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.
