AIO_RETURN(P) AIO_RETURN(P)
NAME
aio_return - retrieve return status of an asynchronous I/O operation (REALTIME)
SYNOPSIS
#include <aio.h>
ssize_t aio_return(struct aiocb *aiocbp);
DESCRIPTION
The aio_return() function shall return the return status associated with the aiocb struc-
ture referenced by the aiocbp argument. The return status for an asynchronous I/O opera-
tion is the value that would be returned by the corresponding read(), write(), or fsync()
function call. If the error status for the operation is equal to [EINPROGRESS], then the
return status for the operation is undefined. The aio_return() function may be called
exactly once to retrieve the return status of a given asynchronous operation; thereafter,
if the same aiocb structure is used in a call to aio_return() or aio_error(), an error may
be returned. When the aiocb structure referred to by aiocbp is used to submit another
asynchronous operation, then aio_return() may be successfully used to retrieve the return
status of that operation.
RETURN VALUE
If the asynchronous I/O operation has completed, then the return status, as described for
read(), write(), and fsync(), shall be returned. If the asynchronous I/O operation has not
yet completed, the results of aio_return() are undefined.
ERRORS
The aio_return() function may fail if:
EINVAL The aiocbp argument does not refer to an asynchronous operation whose return status
has not yet been retrieved.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
The aio_return() function is part of the Asynchronous Input and Output option and need not
be available on all implementations.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
