NAME
       libaio - asynchronous I/O library

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -laio [ library... ]

DESCRIPTION
       Historically, functions in this library provided asynchronous I/O oper‐
       ations. This functionality now resides inlibc(3LIB)

       This library is maintained to provide backward compatibility  for  both
       runtime	and compilation environments. The shared      object is imple‐
       mented as a filter on libc.so.1. New application development  need  not
       specify -laio.

INTERFACES
       The  shared  object  libaio.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined
       below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object	inter‐
       faces.

       aiocancel		     aioread
       aiowait			     aiowrite
       assfail			     close
       fork			     sigaction

       The  following  interfaces  are	unique	to  the 32-bit version of this
       library:

       aioread64		     aiowrite64

FILES
       /lib/libaio.so.1	      shared object

       /lib/64/libaio.so.1    64-bit shared object
