aio_suspend — suspend until asynchronous I/O operations or timeout complete (REALTIME)

This manual page was written by Wes Peters <wes@softweyr.com>. Debian Oct 23, 2017 AIO_SUSPEND(2)

The aio_suspend() system call suspends the calling process until at least one of the specified asynchronous I/O requests have completed, a signal is delivered, or the timeout has passed. The iocbs argument is an array of niocb pointers to asynchronous I/O requests. Array members containing null pointers will be silently ignored. If timeout is not a null pointer, it specifies a maximum interval to suspend. If timeout is a null pointer, the suspend blocks indefinitely. To effect a poll, the timeout should point to a zero-value timespec structure.

The aio_suspend() system call will fail if: [EAGAIN] the timeout expired before any I/O requests completed. [EINVAL] The iocbs argument contains more asynchronous I/O requests than the vfs.aio.max_aio_queue_per_procsysctl(8) variable, or at least one of the requests is not valid. [EINTR] the suspend was interrupted by a signal.

The aio_suspend() system call first appeared in FreeBSD 3.0.

aio_suspend — suspend until asynchronous I/O operations or timeout complete (REALTIME)

If one or more of the specified asynchronous I/O requests have completed, aio_suspend() returns 0. Otherwise it returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error, as enumerated below.

aio_cancel(2), aio_error(2), aio_return(2), aio_waitcomplete(2), aio_write(2), aio(4)

The aio_suspend() system call is expected to conform to the IEEE Std 1003.1 (“POSIX.1”) standard.
