AIO_CANCEL(3P)            POSIX Programmer's Manual           AIO_CANCEL(3P)

PROLOG         top

       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.

NAME         top

       aio_cancel — cancel an asynchronous I/O request

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <aio.h>
       int aio_cancel(int fildes, struct aiocb *aiocbp);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The aio_cancel() function shall attempt to cancel one or more
       asynchronous I/O requests currently outstanding against file
       descriptor fildes.  The aiocbp argument points to the asynchronous
       I/O control block for a particular request to be canceled. If aiocbp
       is NULL, then all outstanding cancelable asynchronous I/O requests
       against fildes shall be canceled.
       Normal asynchronous notification shall occur for asynchronous I/O
       operations that are successfully canceled. If there are requests that
       cannot be canceled, then the normal asynchronous completion process
       shall take place for those requests when they are completed.
       For requested operations that are successfully canceled, the
       associated error status shall be set to [ECANCELED] and the return
       status shall be −1. For requested operations that are not
       successfully canceled, the aiocbp shall not be modified by
       aio_cancel().
       If aiocbp is not NULL, then if fildes does not have the same value as
       the file descriptor with which the asynchronous operation was
       initiated, unspecified results occur.
       Which operations are cancelable is implementation-defined.

RETURN VALUE         top

       The aio_cancel() function shall return the value AIO_CANCELED if the
       requested operation(s) were canceled.  The value AIO_NOTCANCELED
       shall be returned if at least one of the requested operation(s)
       cannot be canceled because it is in progress. In this case, the state
       of the other operations, if any, referenced in the call to
       aio_cancel() is not indicated by the return value of aio_cancel().
       The application may determine the state of affairs for these
       operations by using aio_error().  The value AIO_ALLDONE is returned
       if all of the operations have already completed.  Otherwise, the
       function shall return −1 and set errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS         top

       The aio_cancel() function shall fail if:
       EBADF  The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor.
