lio_listio
Performs an asynchronous read operation.
Syntax
int lio_listio(int mode, struct aiocb *list[], int nent, struct sigevent *sig); |
Arguments
mode |
Takes following values declared in <aio.h> file:
|
*list[] |
Array of the aiocb pointers specifying the submitted I/O requests; NULL elements in the array are ignored |
nent |
Number of elements in the array |
*sig |
Determines if asynchronous notification is sent after all I/O operations completes; takes following values:
|
Description
The lio_listio() function initiates a list of I/O requests with a single function call.
The mode argument determines whether the function returns when all the I/O operations are completed, or as soon as the operations are queued.
If the mode argument is LIO_WAIT, the function waits until all I/O operations are complete. The sig argument is ignored in this case.
If the mode argument is LIO_NOWAIT, the function returns immediately. Asynchronous notification occurs according to the sig argument after all the I/O operations complete.
Returns
When mode=LIO_NOWAIT the lio_listio() function returns:
- 0: I/O operations are successfully queued
- -1: Error; I/O operations not queued; to get the proper error code, use errno.
When mode=LIO_WAIT the lio_listio() function returns:
- 0: I/O operations specified completed successfully
- -1: Error; I/O operations not completed; to get the proper error code, use errno.
