AIO_CANCEL(3)		   Linux Programmer's Manual		 AIO_CANCEL(3)

NAME
       aio_cancel - cancel an outstanding asynchronous I/O request

SYNOPSIS
       #include <aio.h>

       int aio_cancel(int fd, struct aiocb *aiocbp);

       Link with -lrt.

DESCRIPTION
       The  aio_cancel()  function attempts to cancel outstanding asynchronous
       I/O requests for the file descriptor fd.	 If aiocbp is NULL,  all  such
       requests	 are  canceled.	  Otherwise, only the request described by the
       control block pointed to by aiocbp is  canceled.	  (See	aio(7)	for  a
       description of the aiocb structure.)

       Normal  asynchronous  notification  occurs  for canceled requests.  The
       request return status (aio_return(3)) is set to	-1,  and  the  request
       error  status (aio_error(3)) is set to ECANCELED.  The control block of
       requests that cannot be canceled is not changed.

       If aiocbp is not NULL, and fd differs from  the	file  descriptor  with
       which  the  asynchronous	 operation  was initiated, unspecified results
       occur.

       Which operations are cancelable is implementation-defined.

RETURN VALUE
       This function returns AIO_CANCELED if all  requests  were  successfully
       canceled.  It returns AIO_NOTCANCELED when at least one of the requests
       specified was not canceled because it was in progress.	In  this  case
       one  may	 check	the  status of individual requests using aio_error(3).
       This function returns AIO_ALLDONE if all requests had already been com‐
       pleted  before  this call.  When some error occurs, -1 is returned, and
       errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS
       EBADF  fd is not a valid file descriptor.

VERSIONS
       The aio_cancel() function is available since glibc 2.1.

       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
