NAME
aio_error
--- retrieve errors status for an asynchronous I/O operation
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].
If the
aiocb
structure pointed to by
aiocbp
is not associated with an operation that has been scheduled, the
results are undefined.
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.
If the
aio_error()
function fails, it shall return -1 and set
errno
to indicate the error.
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.
