a "null pointer".'' Making good use of the excellent explanations sent to me by Ruslan Ermilov, Garrett Wollman and Bruce Evans, correct the descriptions of null pointers. They are just "null pointers", not nil, not NULL or ".Dv NULL". Suggested by: ru, wollman, bde Reviewed by: ru, wollman Pointy hat: keramida

.Os
|

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm aio_suspend
|
|
.Nd suspend until asynchronous I/O operations or timeout complete (REALTIME)
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In aio.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn aio_suspend "const struct aiocb * const iocbs[]" "int niocb" "const struct timespec * timeout"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn aio_suspend
|
|
system call suspends the calling process until at least one of the
|
|
specified asynchronous I/O requests have completed, a signal is
|
|
delivered, or the
|
|
.Fa timeout
|
|
has passed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa iocbs
|
|
argument
|
|
is an array of
|
|
.Fa niocb
|
|
pointers to asynchronous I/O requests.
|
|
Array members containing
|
|
null pointers will be silently ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa timeout
|
|
is not a null pointer, it specifies a maximum interval to suspend.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa timeout
|
|
is a null pointer, the suspend blocks indefinitely.
|
|
To effect a
|
|
poll, the
|
|
.Fa timeout
|
|
should point to a zero-value timespec structure.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If one or more of the specified asynchronous I/O requests have
|
|
completed,
|
|
.Fn aio_suspend
|
|
returns 0.
|
|
Otherwise it returns -1 and sets
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to indicate the error, as enumerated below.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn aio_suspend
|
|
system call will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
the
|
|
.Fa timeout
|
|
expired before any I/O requests completed.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa iocbs
|
|
argument
|
|
contains more than
|
|
.Dv AIO_LISTIO_MAX
|
|
asynchronous I/O requests, or at least one of the requests is not
|
|
valid.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINTR
|
|
the suspend was interrupted by a signal.
