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 (REALTIME)

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() operation. If the operation has not yet completed, then the error status shall be equal to [EINPROGRESS].

RETURN VALUE

If the asynchronous I/O operation has completed successfully, then 0 shall be returned. If the asynchronous operation has completed unsuccessfully, 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.

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.

The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

None.

APPLICATION USAGE

The aio_error() function is part of the Asynchronous Input and Output option and need not be available on all implementations.

RATIONALE

None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

None.
