AIO_WRITE(P) AIO_WRITE(P)
NAME
aio_write - asynchronous write to a file (REALTIME)
SYNOPSIS
#include <aio.h>
int aio_write(struct aiocb *aiocbp);
DESCRIPTION
The aio_write() function shall write aiocbp->aio_nbytes to the file associated with
aiocbp->aio_fildes from the buffer pointed to by aiocbp->aio_buf. The function
shall return when the write request has been initiated or, at a minimum, queued to
the file or device.
If prioritized I/O is supported for this file, then the asynchronous operation
shall be submitted at a priority equal to the scheduling priority of the process
minus aiocbp->aio_reqprio.
The aiocbp argument may be used as an argument to aio_error() and aio_return() in
order to determine the error status and return status, respectively, of the asyn-
chronous operation while it is proceeding.
The aiocbp argument points to an aiocb structure. If the buffer pointed to by
aiocbp->aio_buf or the control block pointed to by aiocbp becomes an illegal
address prior to asynchronous I/O completion, then the behavior is undefined.
If O_APPEND is not set for the file descriptor aio_fildes, then the requested oper-
ation shall take place at the absolute position in the file as given by aio_offset,
as if lseek() were called immediately prior to the operation with an offset equal
to aio_offset and a whence equal to SEEK_SET. If O_APPEND is set for the file
descriptor, write operations append to the file in the same order as the calls were
made. After a successful call to enqueue an asynchronous I/O operation, the value
of the file offset for the file is unspecified.
The aiocbp->aio_lio_opcode field shall be ignored by aio_write().
Simultaneous asynchronous operations using the same aiocbp produce undefined
results.
If synchronized I/O is enabled on the file associated with aiocbp->aio_fildes, the
behavior of this function shall be according to the definitions of synchronized I/O
data integrity completion, and synchronized I/O file integrity completion.
For any system action that changes the process memory space while an asynchronous
I/O is outstanding to the address range being changed, the result of that action is
undefined.
For regular files, no data transfer shall occur past the offset maximum established
in the open file description associated with aiocbp->aio_fildes.
RETURN VALUE
The aio_write() function shall return the value zero to the calling process if the
I/O operation is successfully queued; otherwise, the function shall return the
value -1 and set errno to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The aio_write() function shall fail if:
EAGAIN The requested asynchronous I/O operation was not queued due to system
resource limitations.
Each of the following conditions may be detected synchronously at the time of the
call to aio_write(), or asynchronously. If any of the conditions below are
detected synchronously, the aio_write() function shall return -1 and set errno to
the corresponding value. If any of the conditions below are detected asyn-
chronously, the return status of the asynchronous operation shall be set to -1, and
the error status of the asynchronous operation is set to the corresponding value.
EBADF The aiocbp->aio_fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor open for
writing.
EINVAL The file offset value implied by aiocbp->aio_offset would be invalid,
aiocbp->aio_reqprio is not a valid value, or aiocbp->aio_nbytes is an
invalid value.
In the case that the aio_write() successfully queues the I/O operation, the return
status of the asynchronous operation shall be one of the values normally returned
by the write() function call. If the operation is successfully queued but is subse-
quently canceled or encounters an error, the error status for the asynchronous
operation contains one of the values normally set by the write() function call, or
one of the following:
EBADF The aiocbp->aio_fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor open for
writing.
EINVAL The file offset value implied by aiocbp->aio_offset would be invalid.
ECANCELED
The requested I/O was canceled before the I/O completed due to an explicit
aio_cancel() request.
The following condition may be detected synchronously or asynchronously:
EFBIG The file is a regular file, aiobcp->aio_nbytes is greater than 0, and the
starting offset in aiobcp->aio_offset is at or beyond the offset maximum in
the open file description associated with aiocbp->aio_fildes.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
The aio_write() function is part of the Asynchronous Input and Output option and
need not be available on all implementations.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
