aio_read
Performs an asynchronous read operation.
Syntax
int aio_read(struct aiocb *aiocbp); |
Description
The aio_read() function requests an asynchronous read operation, calling the function,
"ReadFile(hFile, lpBuffer, nNumberOfBytesToRead, lpNumberOfBytesRead, NULL);"
where,
- hFile is given by aiocbp->aio_fildes
- lpBuffer is given by aiocbp->aio_buf
- nNumberOfBytesToRead is given by aiocbp->aio_nbytes
Use the function aio_return() to retrieve the actual bytes read in lpNumberOfBytesRead.
Use the extension aiocb->aio_offset == (intptr_t)-1 to start the read operation after the last read record. This extension avoids extra file positioning and enhances performance.
Returns
0: On success
-1: On error
To get the correct error code, use errno. To get the error that occurred during asynchronous read operation, use aio_error() function.
