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

This manual page was written by Wes Peters <wes@softweyr.com>. Debian March 21, 2016 AIO_RETURN(2)

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 it has completed (aio_error(2) returns something other than EINPROGRESS).

The aio_return() system call will fail if: [EINVAL] The iocb argument does not reference a completed asynchronous I/O request.

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

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

If the asynchronous I/O request has completed, the status is returned as described in read(2), write(2), or fsync(2). Otherwise, aio_return() returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error condition.

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