NAME
aio_suspend - wait for asynchronous I/O operation or timeout
SYNOPSIS
#include <aio.h>
int aio_suspend(const struct aiocb * const aiocb_list[],
int nitems, const struct timespec *timeout);
Link with -lrt.
DESCRIPTION
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(3)).
RETURN VALUE
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
- 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.
VERSIONS
The
aio_suspend()
function is available since glibc 2.1.

CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
NOTES
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.
