- .SH NAME
- aio_cancel
- \(em cancel an asynchronous I/O request
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <aio.h>
- .P
- int aio_cancel(int \fIfildes\fP, struct aiocb *\fIaiocbp\fP);
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- \fIaio_cancel\fR()
- function shall attempt to cancel one or more asynchronous I/O requests
- currently outstanding against file descriptor
- .IR fildes .
- The
- .IR aiocbp
- argument points to the asynchronous I/O control block for a particular
- request to be canceled. If
- .IR aiocbp
- is NULL, then all outstanding cancelable asynchronous I/O requests
- against
- .IR fildes
- shall be canceled.
- .P
- Normal asynchronous notification shall occur for asynchronous I/O
- operations that are successfully canceled. If there are requests that
- cannot be canceled, then the normal asynchronous completion process
- shall take place for those requests when they are completed.
- .P
- For requested operations that are successfully canceled, the associated
- error status shall be set to
- .BR [ECANCELED]
- and the return status shall be \-1. For requested operations that are
- not successfully canceled, the
- .IR aiocbp
- shall not be modified by
- \fIaio_cancel\fR().
- .P
- If
- .IR aiocbp
- is not NULL, then if
- .IR fildes
- does not have the same value as the file descriptor with which the
- asynchronous operation was initiated, unspecified results occur.
- .P
- Which operations are cancelable is implementation-defined.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- The
- \fIaio_cancel\fR()
- function shall return the value AIO_CANCELED
- if the requested operation(s) were canceled.
- The value AIO_NOTCANCELED
- shall be returned if at least one of the requested operation(s) cannot
- be canceled because it is in progress. In this case, the state of the
- other operations, if any, referenced in the call to
- \fIaio_cancel\fR()
- is not indicated by the return value of
- \fIaio_cancel\fR().
- The application may determine the state of affairs for these operations
- by using
- \fIaio_error\fR().
- The value AIO_ALLDONE
- is returned if all of the operations have already completed.
- Otherwise, the function shall return \-1 and set
- .IR errno
- to indicate the error.
- .SH ERRORS
- The
- \fIaio_cancel\fR()
- function shall fail if:
- .TP
- .BR EBADF
- The
- .IR fildes
- argument is not a valid file descriptor.
