.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn lio_listio
|
|
function initiates a list of I/O requests with a single function call.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa list
|
|
argument is an array of pointers to
|
|
.Vt aiocb
|
|
structures describing each operation to perform,
|
|
with
|
|
.Fa nent
|
|
elements.
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
elements are ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Va aio_lio_opcode
|
|
field of each
|
|
.Vt aiocb
|
|
specifies the operation to be performed.
|
|
The following operations are supported:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv LIO_WRITE"
|
|
.It Dv LIO_READ
|
|
Read data as if by a call to
|
|
.Xr aio_read 2 .
|
|
.It Dv LIO_NOP
|
|
No operation.
|
|
.It Dv LIO_WRITE
|
|
Write data as if by a call to
|
|
.Xr aio_write 2 .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fa mode
|
|
argument is
|
|
.Dv LIO_WAIT ,
|
|
.Fn lio_listio
|
|
does not return until all the requested operations have been completed.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa mode
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv LIO_NOWAIT ,
|
|
the requests are processed asynchronously, and the signal specified by
|
|
.Fa sig
|
|
is sent when all operations have completed.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa sig
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
the calling process is not notified of I/O completion.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The order in which the requests are carried out is not specified;
|
|
in particular, there is no guarantee that they will be executed in
|
|
the order 0, 1, ...,
|
|
.Fa nent Ns \-1 .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa mode
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv LIO_WAIT ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fn lio_listio
|
|
function returns 0 if the operations completed successfully,
|
|
otherwise \-1.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa mode
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv LIO_NOWAIT ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fn lio_listio
|
|
function 0 if the operations are successfully queued,
|
|
otherwise \-1.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn lio_listio
|
|
function will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
There are not enough resources to enqueue the requests.
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
The request would cause the system-wide limit
|
|
.Dv AIO_MAX
|
|
to be exceeded.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa mode
|
|
argument is neither
|
|
.Dv LIO_WAIT
|
|
nor
|
|
.Dv LIO_NOWAIT ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Fa nent
|
|
is greater than
|
|
.Dv AIO_LISTIO_MAX .
|
|
.It Bq Er EINTR
|
|
A signal interrupted the system call before it could be completed.
|
|
.It Bq Er EIO
|
|
One or more requests failed.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In addition, the
|
|
.Fn lio_listio
|
|
function may fail for any of the reasons listed for
|
|
.Xr aio_read 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr aio_write 2 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fn lio_listio
|
|
succeeds, or fails with an error code of
|
|
.Er EAGAIN , EINTR ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Er EIO ,
|
|
some of the requests may have been initiated.
|
|
The caller should check the error status of each
|
|
.Vt aiocb
|
|
structure individually by calling
|
|
.Xr aio_error 2 .
