154 * aiocbp argument. The error status for an asynchronous I/O operation is the errno
155 * value that would be set by the corresponding read(), write(), or fsync()
156 * operation. If the operation has not yet completed, then the error status shall
157 * be equal to [EINPROGRESS].

162 * Asynchronously force all I/O operations associated with the file indicated by

164 * aiocbp argument and queued at the time of the call to aio_fsync() to the
165 * synchronized I/O completion state. The function call shall return when the
166 * synchronization request has been initiated or queued. op O_SYNC is the only
167 * supported opertation at this time.
168 * The aiocbp argument refers to an asynchronous I/O control block. The aiocbp
169 * value may be used as an argument to aio_error() and aio_return() in order to
170 * determine the error status and return status, respectively, of the asynchronous
171 * operation while it is proceeding. When the request is queued, the error status
172 * for the operation is [EINPROGRESS]. When all data has been successfully
173 * transferred, the error status shall be reset to reflect the success or failure

180 * Read aiocbp->aio_nbytes from the file associated with aiocbp->aio_fildes into
181 * the buffer pointed to by aiocbp->aio_buf. The function call shall return when
182 * the read request has been initiated or queued.
183 * The aiocbp value may be used as an argument to aio_error() and aio_return() in
184 * order to determine the error status and return status, respectively, of the
185 * asynchronous operation while it is proceeding. If an error condition is
186 * encountered during queuing, the function call shall return without having
187 * initiated or queued the request. The requested operation takes place at the
188 * absolute position in the file as given by aio_offset, as if lseek() were called
189 * immediately prior to the operation with an offset equal to aio_offset and a
190 * whence equal to SEEK_SET. After a successful call to enqueue an asynchronous
191 * I/O operation, the value of the file offset for the file is unspecified.
193 int aio_read( struct aiocb

196 * Return the return status associated with the aiocb structure referenced by
197 * the aiocbp argument. The return status for an asynchronous I/O operation is
198 * the value that would be returned by the corresponding read(), write(), or
199 * fsync() function call. If the error status for the operation is equal to
200 * [EINPROGRESS], then the return status for the operation is undefined. The
201 * aio_return() function may be called exactly once to retrieve the return status
202 * of a given asynchronous operation; thereafter, if the same aiocb structure
203 * is used in a call to aio_return() or aio_error(), an error may be returned.
204 * When the aiocb structure referred to by aiocbp is used to submit another
205 * asynchronous operation, then aio_return() may be successfully used to
206 * retrieve the return status of that operation.

212 * operations referenced by the aiocblist argument has completed, until a signal
213 * interrupts the function, or, if timeout is not NULL, until the time
214 * interval specified by timeout has passed. If any of the aiocb structures
215 * in the aiocblist correspond to completed asynchronous I/O operations (that is,
216 * the error status for the operation is not equal to [EINPROGRESS]) at the
217 * time of the call, the function shall return without suspending the calling
218 * thread. The aiocblist argument is an array of pointers to asynchronous I/O
219 * control blocks. The nent argument indicates the number of elements in the
220 * array. Each aiocb structure pointed to has been used in initiating an
221 * asynchronous I/O request via aio_read(), aio_write(), or lio_listio(). This
222 * array may contain NULL pointers, which are ignored.

230 * the buffer pointed to by aiocbp->aio_buf. The function shall return when the
231 * write request has been initiated or, at a minimum, queued.
232 * The aiocbp argument may be used as an argument to aio_error() and aio_return()
233 * in order to determine the error status and return status, respectively, of the
234 * asynchronous operation while it is proceeding.

240 * argument takes one of the values LIO_WAIT or LIO_NOWAIT and determines whether
241 * the function returns when the I/O operations have been completed, or as soon
242 * as the operations have been queued. If the mode argument is LIO_WAIT, the
243 * function shall wait until all I/O is complete and the sig argument shall be
245 * If the mode argument is LIO_NOWAIT, the function shall return immediately, and
