The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult

or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
aio.h
--- asynchronous input and output
SYNOPSIS
#include <aio.h>
DESCRIPTION
The
<aio.h>
header shall define the
aiocb
structure, which shall include at least the following members:
-
int aio_fildes File descriptor.
off_t aio_offset File offset.
volatile void *aio_buf Location of buffer.
size_t aio_nbytes Length of transfer.
int aio_reqprio Request priority offset.
struct sigevent aio_sigevent Signal number and value.
int aio_lio_opcode Operation to be performed.
The
<aio.h>
header shall define the
off_t,
pthread_attr_t,
size_t,
and
ssize_t
types as described in
<sys/types.h>.
The
<aio.h>
header shall define the
struct timespec
structure as described in
<time.h>.
The tag
sigevent
shall be declared as naming an incomplete structure type, the contents
of which are described in the
<signal.h>
header.
The
<aio.h>
header shall define the following symbolic constants:
- AIO_ALLDONE
-
A return value indicating that none of the requested operations could
be canceled since they are already complete.
- AIO_CANCELED
-
A return value indicating that all requested operations have been
canceled.
- AIO_NOTCANCELED
-
A return value indicating that some of the requested operations could
not be canceled since they are in progress.
- LIO_NOP
-
A
lio_listio()
element operation option indicating that no transfer is requested.
- LIO_NOWAIT
-
A
lio_listio()
synchronization operation indicating that the calling thread is to
continue execution while the
lio_listio()
operation is being performed, and no notification is given when the
operation is complete.
- LIO_READ
-
A
lio_listio()
element operation option requesting a read.
- LIO_WAIT
-
A
lio_listio()
synchronization operation indicating that the calling thread is to
suspend until the
lio_listio()
operation is complete.
- LIO_WRITE
-
A
lio_listio()
element operation option requesting a write.
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined
as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
-
int aio_cancel(int, struct aiocb *);
int aio_error(const struct aiocb *);
int aio_fsync(int, struct aiocb *);
int aio_read(struct aiocb *);
ssize_t aio_return(struct aiocb *);
int aio_suspend(const struct aiocb *const [], int,
const struct timespec *);
int aio_write(struct aiocb *);
int lio_listio(int, struct aiocb *restrict const [restrict], int,
struct sigevent *restrict);
Inclusion of the
<aio.h>
header may make visible symbols defined in the headers
<fcntl.h>,
<signal.h>,
and
<time.h>.
The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
