AIO_CANCEL(3) Linux Programmer's Manual AIO_CANCEL(3)

NAME

     aio_cancel - cancel an outstanding asynchronous I/O request

SYNOPSIS

     #include <aio.h>
     int aio_cancel(int fd, struct aiocb *aiocbp);
     Link with -lrt.

DESCRIPTION

     The  aio_cancel()  function attempts to cancel outstanding asynchronous
     I/O requests for the file descriptor fd.  If aiocbp is NULL,  all  such
     requests  are  canceled.   Otherwise, only the request described by the
     control block pointed to by aiocbp is  canceled.   (See  aio(7)  for  a
     description of the aiocb structure.)
     Normal  asynchronous  notification  occurs  for  canceled requests (see
     aio(7) and sigevent(7)).  The request return status (aio_return(3))  is
     set  to -1, and the request error status (aio_error(3)) is set to ECAN-
     CELED.  The control block of requests that cannot be  canceled  is  not
     changed.
     If  the  request  could  not be canceled, then it will terminate in the
     usual  way  after  performing  the  I/O  operation.   (In  this   case,
     aio_error(3) will return the status EINPROGRESSS.)
     If  aiocbp  is  not  NULL, and fd differs from the file descriptor with
     which the asynchronous operation  was  initiated,  unspecified  results
     occur.
     Which operations are cancelable is implementation-defined.

RETURN VALUE

     The aio_cancel() function returns one of the following values:
     AIO_CANCELED
            All requests were successfully canceled.
     AIO_NOTCANCELED
            At  least one of the requests specified was not canceled because
            it was in progress.  In this case, one may check the  status  of
            individual requests using aio_error(3).
     AIO_ALLDONE
            All requests had already been completed before the call.
  1. 1 An error occurred. The cause of the error can be found by

inspecting errno.

ERRORS

     EBADF  fd is not a valid file descriptor.
     ENOSYS aio_cancel() is not implemented.

VERSIONS

     The aio_cancel() function is available since glibc 2.1.
