aio_suspend(3RT)	  Realtime Library Functions	      aio_suspend(3RT)

NAME
       aio_suspend - wait for asynchronous I/O request

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -lrt [ library... ]
       #include <aio.h>

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

DESCRIPTION
       The  aio_suspend() function suspends the calling thread	until at least
       one of the asynchronous I/O operations referenced by the list  argument
       has  completed,	until a signal interrupts the function, or, if timeout
       is not NULL, until the time interval specified by timeout  has  passed.
       If  any	of  the	 aiocb	structures in the list correspond to completed
       asynchronous I/O operations (that is, the error status for  the	opera‐
       tion is not equal to EINPROGRESS) at the time of the call, the function
       returns without suspending the calling thread. The list argument is  an
       array of pointers to asynchronous I/O control blocks. The nent argument
       indicates the number of	elements  in  the  array  and  is  limited  to
       _AIO_LISTIO_MAX	= 4096. Each aiocb structure pointed to will have been
       used in initiating  an  asynchronous  I/O  request  via	aio_read(3RT),
       aio_write(3RT),	or lio_listio(3RT). This array may contain null point‐
       ers, which are ignored. If this array contains pointers that  refer  to
       aiocb  structures  that	have  not been used in submitting asynchronous
       I/O, the effect is undefined.

       If the time interval indicated in the timespec structure pointed to  by
       timeout	passes before any of the I/O operations referenced by list are
       completed, then aio_suspend() returns with an error.

RETURN VALUES
       If aio_suspend() returns after one or more asynchronous I/O  operations
       have  completed, it returns 0. Otherwise, it returns −1, and sets errno
       to indicate the error.

       The application may determine which asynchronous I/O completed by scan‐
       ning  the  associated  error and return status using aio_error(3RT) and
       aio_return(3RT), respectively.

ERRORS
       The aio_suspend() function will fail if:

       EAGAIN	 No asynchronous I/O indicated in the list referenced by  list
		 completed in the time interval indicated by timeout.

       EINTR	 A  signal  interrupted the aio_suspend() function. Since each
		 asynchronous I/O operation might provoke  a  signal  when  it
		 completes,  this error return can be caused by the completion
		 of one or more of the very I/O operations being awaited.

       EINVAL	 The nent argument is less than or equal to 0 or greater  than
		 _AIO_LISTIO_MAX,  or  the  timespec  structure	 pointed to by
		 timeout is not properly set because tv_sec is less than 0  or
		 tv_nsec is either less than 0 or greater than 10^9.

       ENOMEM	 There	is currently not enough available memory; the applica‐
		 tion can try again later.

       ENOSYS	 The aio_suspend() function is not supported by the system.

USAGE
       The aio_suspend() function has a transitional interface for 64-bit file
       offsets.	 See lf64(5).

NOTES
       Solaris 2.6 was the first release to support the Asynchronous Input and
       Output option. Prior to this release, this function always returned  −1
       and set errno to ENOSYS.
