aio_suspend(3)          Library Functions Manual          aio_suspend(3)

NAME         top

       aio_suspend - wait for asynchronous I/O operation or timeout

LIBRARY         top

       Real-time library (librt, -lrt)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <aio.h>

       int aio_suspend(const struct aiocb *const aiocb_list[], int nitems,
                       const struct timespec *restrict timeout);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The aio_suspend() function suspends the calling thread until one
       of the following occurs:

       •  One or more of the asynchronous I/O requests in the list
          aiocb_list has completed.

       •  A signal is delivered.

       •  timeout is not NULL and the specified time interval has
          passed.  (For details of the timespec structure, see
          nanosleep(2).)

       The nitems argument specifies the number of items in aiocb_list.
       Each item in the list pointed to by aiocb_list must be either
       NULL (and then is ignored), or a pointer to a control block on
       which I/O was initiated using aio_read(3), aio_write(3), or
       lio_listio(3).  (See aio(7) for a description of the aiocb
       structure.)

       If CLOCK_MONOTONIC is supported, this clock is used to measure
       the timeout interval (see clock_gettime(2)).

RETURN VALUE         top

       If this function returns after completion of one of the I/O
       requests specified in aiocb_list, 0 is returned.  Otherwise, -1
       is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS         top

       EAGAIN The call timed out before any of the indicated operations
              had completed.

       EINTR  The call was ended by signal (possibly the completion
              signal of one of the operations we were waiting for); see
              signal(7).

       ENOSYS aio_suspend() is not implemented.

STANDARDS         top

       POSIX.1-2008.

HISTORY         top

       glibc 2.1.  POSIX.1-2001.

       POSIX doesn't specify the parameters to be restrict; that is
       specific to glibc.

NOTES         top

       One can achieve polling by using a non-NULL timeout that
       specifies a zero time interval.

       If one or more of the asynchronous I/O operations specified in
       aiocb_list has already completed at the time of the call to
       aio_suspend(), then the call returns immediately.

       To determine which I/O operations have completed after a
       successful return from aio_suspend(), use aio_error(3) to scan
       the list of aiocb structures pointed to by aiocb_list.

BUGS         top

       The glibc implementation of aio_suspend() is not async-signal-
       safe, in violation of the requirements of POSIX.1.
