AIO_SUSPEND(3)		 BSD Library Functions Manual		AIO_SUSPEND(3)

NAME
     aio_suspend — suspend until asynchronous I/O operations or timeout com‐
     plete (REALTIME)

LIBRARY
     POSIX Real-time Library (librt, -lrt)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <aio.h>

     int
     aio_suspend(const struct aiocb * const list[], int nent,
	 const struct timespec * timeout);

DESCRIPTION
     The aio_suspend() system call suspends the calling process until at least
     one of the specified asynchronous I/O requests have completed, a signal
     is delivered, or the struct timeout (see timespec(3)) has passed.

     The list argument is an array of nent pointers to asynchronous I/O
     requests.	Array members containing NULL pointers will be silently
     ignored.

     If timeout is not a NULL pointer, it specifies a maximum interval to sus‐
     pend.  If timeout is a NULL pointer, the suspend blocks indefinitely.  To
     effect a poll, the timeout should point to a zero-value timespec struc‐
     ture.

RETURN VALUES
     If one or more of the specified asynchronous I/O requests have completed,
     aio_suspend() returns 0.  Otherwise it returns -1 and sets errno to indi‐
     cate the error, as enumerated below.

ERRORS
     The aio_suspend() system call will fail if:

     [EAGAIN]		The timeout expired before any I/O requests completed.

     [EINTR]		The suspend was interrupted by a signal.

     [EINVAL]		The list argument contains more than AIO_LISTIO_MAX
			asynchronous I/O requests, or at least one of the
			requests is not valid.

SEE ALSO
     aio(3), timespec(3)

STANDARDS
     The aio_suspend() system call is expected to conform to the IEEE Std
     1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”) standard.

HISTORY
     The aio_suspend() system call first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
