-.TH aio 3 2002-09-12 "Linux 2.4" Linux AIO"
-.SH NAME
-aio \- Asynchronous IO
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <errno.h>
-.sp
-.br
-.B #include <aio.h>
-.sp
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The POSIX.1b standard defines a new set of I/O operations which can
-significantly reduce the time an application spends waiting at I/O. The
-new functions allow a program to initiate one or more I/O operations and
-then immediately resume normal work while the I/O operations are
-executed in parallel. This functionality is available if the
-.IR "unistd.h"
-file defines the symbol
-.B "_POSIX_ASYNCHRONOUS_IO"
-.
-
-These functions are part of the library with realtime functions named
-.IR "librt"
-. They are not actually part of the
-.IR "libc"
-binary.
-The implementation of these functions can be done using support in the
-kernel (if available) or using an implementation based on threads at
-userlevel. In the latter case it might be necessary to link applications
-with the thread library
-.IR "libpthread"
-in addition to
-.IR "librt"
-and
-.IR "libaio"
-.
-
-All AIO operations operate on files which were opened previously. There
-might be arbitrarily many operations running for one file. The
-asynchronous I/O operations are controlled using a data structure named
-.IR "struct aiocb"
-It is defined in
-.IR "aio.h"
- as follows.
-
-.nf
-struct aiocb
-{
- int aio_fildes; /* File desriptor. */
- int aio_lio_opcode; /* Operation to be performed. */
- int aio_reqprio; /* Request priority offset. */
- volatile void *aio_buf; /* Location of buffer. */
- size_t aio_nbytes; /* Length of transfer. */
- struct sigevent aio_sigevent; /* Signal number and value. */
-
- /* Internal members. */
- struct aiocb *__next_prio;
- int __abs_prio;
- int __policy;
- int __error_code;
- __ssize_t __return_value;
-
-#ifndef __USE_FILE_OFFSET64
- __off_t aio_offset; /* File offset. */
- char __pad[sizeof (__off64_t) - sizeof (__off_t)];
-#else
- __off64_t aio_offset; /* File offset. */
-#endif
- char __unused[32];
-};
-
-.fi
-The POSIX.1b standard mandates that the
-.IR "struct aiocb"
-structure
-contains at least the members described in the following table. There
-might be more elements which are used by the implementation, but
-depending upon these elements is not portable and is highly deprecated.
-
-.TP
-.IR "int aio_fildes"
-This element specifies the file descriptor to be used for the
-operation. It must be a legal descriptor, otherwise the operation will
-fail.
-
-The device on which the file is opened must allow the seek operation.
-I.e., it is not possible to use any of the AIO operations on devices
-like terminals where an
-.IR "lseek"
- call would lead to an error.
-.TP
-.IR "off_t aio_offset"
-This element specifies the offset in the file at which the operation (input
-or output) is performed. Since the operations are carried out in arbitrary
-order and more than one operation for one file descriptor can be
-started, one cannot expect a current read/write position of the file
-descriptor.
-.TP
-.IR "volatile void *aio_buf"
-This is a pointer to the buffer with the data to be written or the place
-where the read data is stored.
-.TP
-.IR "size_t aio_nbytes"
-This element specifies the length of the buffer pointed to by
-.IR "aio_buf"
-.
-.TP
-.IR "int aio_reqprio"
-If the platform has defined
-.B "_POSIX_PRIORITIZED_IO"
-and
-.B "_POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING"
-, the AIO requests are
-processed based on the current scheduling priority. The
-.IR "aio_reqprio"
-element can then be used to lower the priority of the
-AIO operation.
-.TP
-.IR "struct sigevent aio_sigevent"
-This element specifies how the calling process is notified once the
-operation terminates. If the
-.IR "sigev_notify"
-element is
-.B "SIGEV_NONE"
-, no notification is sent. If it is
-.B "SIGEV_SIGNAL"
-,
-the signal determined by
-.IR "sigev_signo"
-is sent. Otherwise,
-.IR "sigev_notify"
-must be
-.B "SIGEV_THREAD"
-. In this case, a thread
-is created which starts executing the function pointed to by
-.IR "sigev_notify_function"
-.
-.TP
-.IR "int aio_lio_opcode"
-This element is only used by the
-.IR "lio_listio"
- and
-.IR "lio_listio64"
- functions. Since these functions allow an
-arbitrary number of operations to start at once, and each operation can be
-input or output (or nothing), the information must be stored in the
-control block. The possible values are:
-.TP
-.B "LIO_READ"
-Start a read operation. Read from the file at position
-.IR "aio_offset"
- and store the next
-.IR "aio_nbytes"
- bytes in the
-buffer pointed to by
-.IR "aio_buf"
-.
-.TP
-.B "LIO_WRITE"
-Start a write operation. Write
-.IR "aio_nbytes"
-bytes starting at
-.IR "aio_buf"
-into the file starting at position
-.IR "aio_offset"
-.
-.TP
-.B "LIO_NOP"
-Do nothing for this control block. This value is useful sometimes when
-an array of
-.IR "struct aiocb"
-values contains holes, i.e., some of the
-values must not be handled although the whole array is presented to the
-.IR "lio_listio"
-function.
-
-When the sources are compiled using
-.B "_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64"
-on a
-32 bit machine, this type is in fact
-.IR "struct aiocb64"
-, since the LFS
-interface transparently replaces the
-.IR "struct aiocb"
-definition.
-.PP
-For use with the AIO functions defined in the LFS, there is a similar type
-defined which replaces the types of the appropriate members with larger
-types but otherwise is equivalent to
-.IR "struct aiocb"
-. Particularly,
-all member names are the same.
-
-.nf
-/* The same for the 64bit offsets. Please note that the members aio_fildes
- to __return_value have to be the same in aiocb and aiocb64. */

-.B #include <aio.h>
-.sp
-.br
-.BI "int aio_cancel (int fildes " , struct aiocb *aiocbp " )"
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-When one or more requests are asynchronously processed, it might be
-useful in some situations to cancel a selected operation, e.g., if it
-becomes obvious that the written data is no longer accurate and would
-have to be overwritten soon. As an example, assume an application, which
-writes data in files in a situation where new incoming data would have
-to be written in a file which will be updated by an enqueued request.
-The POSIX AIO implementation provides such a function, but this function
-is not capable of forcing the cancellation of the request. It is up to the
-implementation to decide whether it is possible to cancel the operation
-or not. Therefore using this function is merely a hint.
-.B "The libaio implementation does not implement the cancel operation in the"
-.B "POSIX libraries".
-.PP
-The
-.IR aio_cancel
-function can be used to cancel one or more
-outstanding requests. If the
-.IR aiocbp
-parameter is
-.IR NULL
-, the
-function tries to cancel all of the outstanding requests which would process
-the file descriptor
-.IR fildes
-(i.e., whose
-.IR aio_fildes
-member
-is
-.IR fildes
-). If
-.IR aiocbp is not
-.IR NULL
-,
-.IR aio_cancel
-attempts to cancel the specific request pointed to by
-.IR aiocbp.
-
-For requests which were successfully canceled, the normal notification
-about the termination of the request should take place. I.e., depending
-on the
-.IR "struct sigevent"
-object which controls this, nothing
-happens, a signal is sent or a thread is started. If the request cannot
-be canceled, it terminates the usual way after performing the operation.
-After a request is successfully canceled, a call to
-.IR aio_error
-with
-a reference to this request as the parameter will return
-.B ECANCELED
-and a call to
-.IR aio_return
-will return
-.IR -1.
-If the request wasn't canceled and is still running the error status is
-still
-.B EINPROGRESS.
-When the sources are compiled with
-.IR "_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64"
-, this
-function is in fact
-.IR aio_cancel64
-since the LFS interface
-transparently replaces the normal implementation.
-
-.SH "RETURN VALUES"
-.TP
-.B AIO_CANCELED

-requests which haven't terminated and which were successfully canceled.
-.TP
-.B AIO_NOTCANCELED
-If there is one or more requests left which couldn't be canceled,

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-When dealing with asynchronous operations it is sometimes necessary to
-get into a consistent state. This would mean for AIO that one wants to
-know whether a certain request or a group of request were processed.
-This could be done by waiting for the notification sent by the system
-after the operation terminated, but this sometimes would mean wasting
-resources (mainly computation time). Instead POSIX.1b defines two
-functions which will help with most kinds of consistency.
-.PP
-The
-.IR aio_fsync
-and
-.IR "aio_fsync64"
-functions are only available
-if the symbol
-.IR "_POSIX_SYNCHRONIZED_IO"
-is defined in
-.I unistd.h
-.
-
-Calling this function forces all I/O operations operating queued at the
-time of the function call operating on the file descriptor
-.IR "aiocbp->aio_fildes"
-into the synchronized I/O completion state . The
-.IR "aio_fsync"
-function returns
-immediately but the notification through the method described in
-.IR "aiocbp->aio_sigevent"
-will happen only after all requests for this
-file descriptor have terminated and the file is synchronized. This also
-means that requests for this very same file descriptor which are queued
-after the synchronization request are not affected.
-
-If
-.IR "op"
-is
-.IR "O_DSYNC"
-the synchronization happens as with a call
-to
-.IR "fdatasync"
-. Otherwise
-.IR "op"
-should be
-.IR "O_SYNC"
-and
-the synchronization happens as with
-.IR "fsync"
-.
-
-As long as the synchronization has not happened, a call to
-.IR "aio_error"
-with the reference to the object pointed to by
-.IR "aiocbp"
-returns
-.IR "EINPROGRESS"
-. Once the synchronization is
-done
-.IR "aio_error"
-return
-.IR 0
-if the synchronization was not
-successful. Otherwise the value returned is the value to which the
-.IR "fsync"
-or
-.IR "fdatasync"
-function would have set the
-.IR "errno"
-variable. In this case nothing can be assumed about the
-consistency for the data written to this file descriptor.
-
-.SH "RETURN VALUES"
-The return value of this function is
-.IR 0
-if the request was
-successfully enqueued. Otherwise the return value is
-.IR -1
-and
-.IR "errno".
-.SH ERRORS

-
-The POSIX standard does not specify how the AIO functions are

-At the point of this writing, the available implementation is a userlevel
-implementation which uses threads for handling the enqueued requests.

-in the GNU C library. Therefore, the GNU C library provides a means

-This function must be called before any other AIO function. Calling it

-implementation perform better.
-
-Before calling the
-.IR aio_init
-, function the members of a variable of
-type
-.IR "struct aioinit"
-must be initialized. Then a reference to
-this variable is passed as the parameter to
-.IR aio_init
-which itself

-Another method of synchronization is to wait until one or more requests of a

-.IR "aio_*"
-functions to notify the initiating process about the termination but in
-some situations this is not the ideal solution. In a program which
-constantly updates clients somehow connected to the server it is not
-always the best solution to go round robin since some connections might
-be slow. On the other hand letting the
-.IR "aio_*"
-function notify the
-caller might also be not the best solution since whenever the process
-works on preparing data for on client it makes no sense to be
-interrupted by a notification since the new client will not be handled
-before the current client is served. For situations like this
-.IR "aio_suspend"
-should be used.
-.PP
-When calling this function, the calling thread is suspended until at

-completed at the time
-.IR "aio_suspend"
-is called, the function returns
-immediately. Whether a request has terminated or not is determined by
-comparing the error status of the request with
-.IR "EINPROGRESS"
-. If
-an element of
-.IR "list"
-is
-.IR "NULL"
-, the entry is simply ignored.
-
-If no request has finished, the calling process is suspended. If

-has finished. If

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-
-Besides these functions with the more or less traditional interface,
-POSIX.1b also defines a function which can initiate more than one
-operation at a time, and which can handle freely mixed read and write
-operations. It is therefore similar to a combination of
-.IR readv
-and
-.IR "writev"
-.
-
-The
-.IR "lio_listio"
-function can be used to enqueue an arbitrary
-number of read and write requests at one time. The requests can all be
-meant for the same file, all for different files or every solution in
-between.
-
-.IR "lio_listio"
-gets the
-.IR "nent"
-requests from the array pointed to
-by
-.IR "list"
-. The operation to be performed is determined by the
-.IR "aio_lio_opcode"
-member in each element of
-.IR "list"
-. If this
-field is
-.B "LIO_READ"
-a read operation is enqueued, similar to a call
-of
-.IR "aio_read"
-for this element of the array (except that the way
-the termination is signalled is different, as we will see below). If
-the
-.IR "aio_lio_opcode"
-member is
-.B "LIO_WRITE"
-a write operation
-is enqueued. Otherwise the
-.IR "aio_lio_opcode"
-must be
-.B "LIO_NOP"
-in which case this element of
-.IR "list"
-is simply ignored. This
-``operation'' is useful in situations where one has a fixed array of
-.IR "struct aiocb"
-elements from which only a few need to be handled at
-a time. Another situation is where the
-.IR "lio_listio"
-call was
-canceled before all requests are processed and the remaining requests have to be reissued.
-
-The other members of each element of the array pointed to by
-.IR "list"
-must have values suitable for the operation as described in
-the documentation for
-.IR "aio_read"
-and
-.IR "aio_write"
-above.
-
-The
-.IR "mode"
-argument determines how
-.IR "lio_listio"
-behaves after
-having enqueued all the requests. If
-.IR "mode"
-is
-.B "LIO_WAIT"
-it
-waits until all requests terminated. Otherwise
-.IR "mode"
-must be
-.B "LIO_NOWAIT"
-and in this case the function returns immediately after
-having enqueued all the requests. In this case the caller gets a
-notification of the termination of all requests according to the
-.IR "sig"
-parameter. If
-.IR "sig"
-is
-.B "NULL"
-no notification is
-send. Otherwise a signal is sent or a thread is started, just as
-described in the description for
-.IR "aio_read"
-or
-.IR "aio_write"
-.
-
-When the sources are compiled with
-.B "_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64"
-, this
-function is in fact
-.IR "lio_listio64"
-since the LFS interface
-transparently replaces the normal implementation.
-.SH "RETURN VALUES"
-If
-.IR "mode"
-is
-.B "LIO_WAIT"
-, the return value of
-.IR "lio_listio"
-is
-.IR 0
-when all requests completed successfully. Otherwise the
-function return
-.IR 1
-and
-.IR "errno"
-is set accordingly. To find
-out which request or requests failed one has to use the
-.IR "aio_error"
-function on all the elements of the array
-.IR "list"
-.
-
-In case
-.IR "mode"
-is
-.B "LIO_NOWAIT"
-, the function returns
-.IR 0
-if
-all requests were enqueued correctly. The current state of the requests
-can be found using
-.IR "aio_error"
-and
-.IR "aio_return"
-as described
-above. If
-.IR "lio_listio"
-returns
-.IR -1
-in this mode, the
-global variable
-.IR "errno"
-is set accordingly. If a request did not
-yet terminate, a call to
-.IR "aio_error"
-returns
-.B "EINPROGRESS"
-. If
-the value is different, the request is finished and the error value (or
-
-.IR 0
-) is returned and the result of the operation can be retrieved
-using
-.IR "aio_return"
-.
-.SH ERRORS
-Possible values for
-.IR "errno"
-are:
-
-.TP
-.B EAGAIN
-The resources necessary to queue all the requests are not available at
-the moment. The error status for each element of
-.IR "list"
-must be
-checked to determine which request failed.
-
-Another reason could be that the system wide limit of AIO requests is
-exceeded. This cannot be the case for the implementation on GNU systems
-since no arbitrary limits exist.
-.TP
-.B EINVAL
-The
-.IR "mode"
-parameter is invalid or
-.IR "nent"
-is larger than
-.B "AIO_LISTIO_MAX"
-.
-.TP
-.B EIO
-One or more of the request's I/O operations failed. The error status of
-each request should be checked to determine which one failed.
-.TP
-.B ENOSYS
-The
-.IR "lio_listio"
-function is not supported.
-.PP
-
-If the
-.IR "mode"
-parameter is
-.B "LIO_NOWAIT"
-and the caller cancels
-a request, the error status for this request returned by
-.IR "aio_error"

-.B "ECANCELED"
