NAME

13       aio_error — retrieve errors status for an asynchronous I/O operation
14

SYNOPSIS

16       #include <aio.h>
17
18       int aio_error(const struct aiocb *aiocbp);
19

DESCRIPTION

21       The aio_error() function shall return the error status associated  with
22       the aiocb structure referenced by the aiocbp argument. The error status
23       for an asynchronous I/O operation is the errno value that would be  set
24       by  the  corresponding  read(), write(), fdatasync(), or fsync() opera‐
25       tion. If the operation has not yet completed,  then  the  error  status
26       shall be equal to [EINPROGRESS].
27
28       If  the  aiocb structure pointed to by aiocbp is not associated with an
29       operation that has been scheduled, the results are undefined.
30

RETURN VALUE

32       If the asynchronous I/O operation has completed  successfully,  then  0
33       shall  be  returned. If the asynchronous operation has completed unsuc‐
34       cessfully, then the error status, as  described  for  read(),  write(),
35       fdatasync(),  and  fsync(),  shall be returned. If the asynchronous I/O
36       operation has not yet completed, then [EINPROGRESS] shall be returned.
37
38       If the aio_error() function fails, it shall return −1 and set errno  to
39       indicate the error.
40

ERRORS

42       The aio_error() function may fail if:
43
44       EINVAL The  aiocbp argument does not refer to an asynchronous operation
45              whose return status has not yet been retrieved.
