NAME¶

aio_error - get error status of asynchronous I/O operation

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <aio.h>

int aio_error(const struct aiocb *aiocbp);

Link with -lrt.

DESCRIPTION¶

The aio_error() function returns the error status for the asynchronous I/O request with control block pointed to by aiocbp. (See aio(7) for a description of the aiocb structure.)

RETURN VALUE¶

This function returns one of the following:

• EINPROGRESS, if the request has not been completed yet.
• ECANCELED, if the request was canceled.
• 0, if the request completed successfully.
• A positive error number, if the asynchronous I/O operation failed. This is the same value that would have been stored in the errno variable in the case of a synchronous read(2), write(2), fsync(2), or fdatasync(2) call.

ERRORS¶

EINVAL

aiocbp does not point at a control block for an asynchronous I/O request of which the return status (see aio_return(3)) has not been retrieved yet.

ENOSYS

aio_error() is not implemented.

VERSIONS¶

The aio_error() function is available since glibc 2.1.
