AIO_RETURN(P) POSIX Programmer's Manual AIO_RETURN(P)NAMEaio_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 structure referenced by the aiocbp argument. The return
status for an asynchronous I/O operation 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 suc‐
cessfully used to retrieve the return status of that operation.
RETURN VALUE
If the asynchronous I/O operation has completed, then the return sta‐
tus, 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.
