aio.h(0P) POSIX Programmer's Manual aio.h(0P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
aio.h — asynchronous input and output
#include <aio.h>
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.
