| .TH AIO_SUSPEND 3 2012-05-08 "" "Linux Programmer's Manual" |
| .SH NAME |
| aio_suspend \- wait for asynchronous I/O operation or timeout |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .nf |
| .sp |
| .B "#include <aio.h>" |
| .sp |
| .BI "int aio_suspend(const struct aiocb * const " aiocb_list [], |
| .br |
| .BI " int " nitems ", const struct timespec *" timeout ); |
| .sp |
| Link with \fI\-lrt\fP. |
| .fi |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| The |
| .BR aio_suspend () |
| function suspends the calling thread until one of the following occurs: |
| .IP * 3 |
| One or more of the asynchronous I/O requests in the list |
| .I aiocb_list |
| has completed. |
| .IP * |
| A signal is delivered. |
| .IP * |
| .I timeout |
| is not NULL and the specified time interval has passed. |
| (For details of the |
| .I timespec |
| structure, see |
| .BR nanosleep (2).) |
| .LP |
| The |
| .I nitems |
| argument specifies the number of items in |
| .IR aiocb_list . |
| Each item in the list pointed to by |
| .I aiocb_list |
| must be either NULL (and then is ignored), |
| or a pointer to a control block on which I/O was initiated using |
| .BR aio_read (3), |
| .BR aio_write (3), |
| or |
| .BR lio_listio (3). |
| (See |
| .BR aio (7) |
| for a description of the |
| .I aiocb |
| structure.) |
| .LP |
| If |
| .B CLOCK_MONOTONIC |
| is supported, this clock is used to measure |
| the timeout interval (see |
| .BR clock_gettime (3)). |
| .SH "RETURN VALUE" |
| If this function returns after completion of one of the I/O |
| requests specified in |
| .IR aiocb_list , |
| 0 is returned. |
| Otherwise, \-1 is returned, and |
| .I errno |
| is set to indicate the error. |
| .SH ERRORS |
| .TP |
| .B EAGAIN |
| The call timed out before any of the indicated operations |
| had completed. |
| .TP |
| .B EINTR |
| The call was ended by signal |
| (possibly the completion signal of one of the operations we were |
| waiting for); see |
| .BR signal (7). |
| .TP |
| .B ENOSYS |
| .BR aio_suspend () |
| is not implemented. |
| .SH VERSIONS |
| The |
| .BR aio_suspend () |
| function is available since glibc 2.1. |
| .SH "CONFORMING TO" |
| POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008. |
| .SH NOTES |
| One can achieve polling by using a non-NULL |
| .I timeout |
| that specifies a zero time interval. |
| |
| If one or more of the asynchronous I/O operations specified in |
| .IR aiocb_list |
| has already completed at the time of the call to |
| .BR aio_suspend (), |
| then the call returns immediately. |
| |
| To determine which I/O operations have completed |
| after a successful return from |
| .BR aio_suspend (), |
| use |
| .BR aio_error (3) |
| to scan the list of |
| .I aiocb |
| structures pointed to by |
| .IR aiocb_list . |
