- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- .IR <aio.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR aiocb
- structure, which shall include at least the following members:
- .sp
- .RS 4
- .nf
- int aio_fildes \fRFile descriptor.\fR
- off_t aio_offset \fRFile offset.\fR
- volatile void *aio_buf \fRLocation of buffer.\fR
- size_t aio_nbytes \fRLength of transfer.\fR
- int aio_reqprio \fRRequest priority offset.\fR
- struct sigevent aio_sigevent \fRSignal number and value.\fR
- int aio_lio_opcode \fROperation to be performed.\fR

- The
- .IR <aio.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR off_t ,
- .BR pthread_attr_t ,
- .BR size_t ,
- and
- .BR ssize_t
- types as described in
- .IR <sys/types.h> .
- .P
- The
- .IR <aio.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR "struct timespec"
- structure as described in
- .IR <time.h> .
- .P
- The
- .IR <aio.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR sigevent
- structure and
- .BR sigval
- union as described in
- .IR "\fB<signal.h>\fP".
- .P
- The
- .IR <aio.h>
- header shall define the following symbolic constants:
- .IP AIO_ALLDONE 14
- A return value indicating that none of the requested operations could
- be canceled since they are already complete.
- .IP AIO_CANCELED 14
- A return value indicating that all requested operations have been
- canceled.
- .IP AIO_NOTCANCELED 14
- .br
- A return value indicating that some of the requested operations could
- not be canceled since they are in progress.
- .IP LIO_NOP 14
- A
- \fIlio_listio\fR()
- element operation option indicating that no transfer is requested.
- .IP LIO_NOWAIT 14
- A
- \fIlio_listio\fR()
- synchronization operation indicating that the calling thread is to
- continue execution while the
- \fIlio_listio\fR()
- operation is being performed, and no notification is given when the
- operation is complete.
- .IP LIO_READ 14
- A
- \fIlio_listio\fR()
- element operation option requesting a read.
- .IP LIO_WAIT 14
- A
- \fIlio_listio\fR()
- synchronization operation indicating that the calling thread is to
- suspend until the
- \fIlio_listio\fR()
- operation is complete.
- .IP LIO_WRITE 14
- A
- \fIlio_listio\fR()
- element operation option requesting a write.
- .P
- The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined
- as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
