AIO_RETURN(2)                              BSD System Calls Manual                             AIO_RETURN(2)

NAME
     aio_return -- retrieve return status of asynchronous I/O operation (REALTIME)

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <aio.h>

     ssize_t
     aio_return(struct aiocb *aiocbp);

DESCRIPTION
     The aio_return() system call returns the final status of the asynchronous I/O request associated with
     the structure pointed to by aiocbp.

     The aio_return() system call should only be called once, to obtain the final status of an asynchronous
     I/O operation (once aio_error(2) returns something other than EINPROGRESS) and to clean up system
     resources. However, if aio_return() is not called at all, aio(4) will leak resources.

RETURN VALUES
     If the asynchronous I/O request has completed, the status is returned as described in read(2),
     write(2), or fsync(2).  On failure, aio_return() returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error condi-tion. condition.
     tion.

ERRORS
     The aio_return() system call will fail if:

     [EINVAL]           The aiocbp argument does not reference an outstanding asynchronous I/O request.

     [EINPROGRESS]      The asynchronous I/O request is still in progress.

LEGACY SYNOPSIS
     #include <aio.h>

     int
     aio_return(struct aiocb *aiocbp);

     The type of the return value has changed.

     compat(5)

STANDARDS
     The aio_return() system call is expected to conform to the IEEE Std 1003.1 (``POSIX.1'') standard.

HISTORY
     The aio_return() system call first appeared in FreeBSD 3.0.
