Stop calling system calls "function calls". Use "The .Fn system call" a-la "The .Nm utility". When referring to a non-BSD implementation in the HISTORY section, call syscall a function, to be safe.

.Dt AIO_WAITCOMPLETE 2
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm aio_waitcomplete
|
|
.Nd wait for the next completion of an aio request
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In aio.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn aio_waitcomplete "struct aiocb **iocbp" "struct timespec *timeout"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
|
|
system call waits for completion of an asynchronous I/O request.
|
|
Upon completion,
|
|
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
|
|
returns the result of the function and sets
|
|
.Fa iocbp
|
|
to point to the structure associated with the original request.
|
|
If an asynchronous I/O request is completed before
|
|
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
|
|
is called, it returns immediately with the completed request.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa timeout
|
|
is a non-NULL pointer, it specifies a maximum interval to wait for a
|
|
asynchronous I/O request to complete.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa timeout
|
|
is a NULL pointer,
|
|
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
|
|
waits indefinitely.
|
|
To effect a poll, the
|
|
.Fa timeout
|
|
argument should be non-NULL, pointing to a zero-valued timeval structure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
|
|
system call also serves the function of
|
|
.Fn aio_return ,
|
|
thus
|
|
.Fn aio_return
|
|
should not be called for the control block returned in
|
|
.Fa iocbp .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If an asynchronous I/O request has completed,
|
|
.Fa iocbp
|
|
is set to point to the control block passed with the original request,
|
|
and the status is returned as described in
|
|
.Xr read 2 ,
|
|
.Xr write 2 ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr fsync 2 .
|
|
On failure,
|
|
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
|
|
returns
|
|
.Dv -1 ,
|
|
sets iocbp to
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
and sets
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to indicate the error condition.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn aio_waitcomplete
|
|
system call fails if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The specified time limit is invalid.
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
The process has not yet called
|
|
.Fn aio_read
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn aio_write .
|
|
.It Bq Er EINTR
|
|
A signal was delivered before the timeout expired and before any
|
|
asynchronous I/O requests completed.
|
|
.It Bq Er EWOULDBLOCK
|
|
.It Bq Er EINPROGRESS
|
|
The specified time limit expired before any asynchronous I/O requests
|
|
completed.
