DESCRIPTION

32       To  use  those  functions, you must have libminiasync installed.  Those
33       functions use futures and vdm (virtual data mover) concepts  from  this
34       library.  Please check miniasync(7) for more details.
35
36       The  struct  pmem2_future  is  a structure describing a task to be done
37       asynchronously taking into account persistence of  the  operation.   It
38       means  that  by the time the future is complete, all the data is safely
39       written into a persistent domain.
40
41       The pmem2_config_set_vdm sets a  vdm  structure  in  the  pmem2_config.
42       This  structure  will  be  used by pmem2_*_async functions, to create a
43       pmem2_future.  If vdm is not set in the config, pmem2_map_new will  use
44       a  default  one which uses a pmem2 memory movement functions to perform
45       memory operations.   (pmem2_get_memcpy_fn(3),  pmem2_get_memmove_fn(3),
46       pmem2_get_memset_fn(3)).
47
48       The  pmem2_memcpy_async  uses  vdm  structure held inside the pmem2_map
49       structure to initialise and returns  pmem2_future.   This  future  will
50       perform  memcpy  operation defined in vdm to copy len bytes from src to
51       pmemdest.  In the current implementation flags are ignored.
52
53       The pmem2_memmove_async returns pmem2_future which will perform memmove
54       operation  defined  in  vdm to copy len bytes from src to pmemdest.  In
55       the current implementation flags are ignored.
56
57       The pmem2_memset_async returns pmem2_future which will  perform  memset
58       operation defined in vdm to fill n bytes from pmemstr with value of int
59       c interpreted as unsigned char.  In the  current  implementation  flags
60       are ignored.

RETURN VALUE

63       The pmem2_config_set_vdm always return 0.
64
65       The  pmem2_memcpy_async returns a new instance of pmem2_future perform‐
66       ing memcpy operation.  You can execute returned structure using methods
67       from the libminiasync() library such as FUTURE_BUSY_POLL(3).
68
69       The pmem2_memmove_async returns a new instance of pmem2_future perform‐
70       ing memmove operation.
71
72       The pmem2_memset_async returns a new instance of pmem2_future  perform‐
73       ing memset operation.
