AIO_RETURN(2)

NAME
aio_return - retrieve return status of asynchronous I/O operation (REALTIME)

LIBRARY
libc

SYNOPSIS
#include <aio.h>
int
aio_return(struct aiocb *iocb);

DESCRIPTION
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.

SEE ALSO
aio_cancel(2), aio_error(2), aio_suspend(2), aio_write(2), fsync(2), read(2), write(2), aio(4)

STANDARDS
The aio_return() system call is expected to conform to the p1003.1 standard.

HISTORY
The aio_return() system call first appeared in FreeBSD 3.0.
