AIO_ERROR(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual AIO_ERROR(3P)
PROLOG
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
aio_error -- retrieve errors status for an asynchronous I/O operation
SYNOPSIS
#include <aio.h>
int aio_error(const struct aiocb *aiocbp);
DESCRIPTION
The aio_error() function shall return the error status associated with
the aiocb structure referenced by the aiocbp argument. The error status
for an asynchronous I/O operation is the errno value that would be set
by the corresponding read(), write(), fdatasync(), or fsync() opera-
tion. If the operation has not yet completed, then the error status
shall be equal to [EINPROGRESS].
If the aiocb structure pointed to by aiocbp is not associated with an
operation that has been scheduled, the results are undefined.
RETURN VALUE
If the asynchronous I/O operation has completed successfully, then 0
shall be returned. If the asynchronous operation has completed unsuc-
cessfully, then the error status, as described for read(), write(),
fdatasync(), and fsync(), shall be returned. If the asynchronous I/O
operation has not yet completed, then [EINPROGRESS] shall be returned.
If the aio_error() function fails, it shall return -1 and set errno to
indicate the error.
ERRORS
The aio_error() function may fail if:
EINVAL The aiocbp argument does not refer to an asynchronous operation
whose return status has not yet been retrieved.
