IO_CANCEL(2) Linux Programmer's Manual IO_CANCEL(2) NAME io_cancel - cancel an outstanding asynchronous I/O operation SYNOPSIS #include <libaio.h> int io_cancel(aio_context_t ctx_id, struct iocb *iocb, struct io_event *result); Link with -laio. DESCRIPTION io_cancel() attempts to cancel an asynchronous I/O operation previously submitted with io_submit(2). ctx_id is the AIO context ID of the oper- ation to be canceled. If the AIO context is found, the event will be canceled and then copied into the memory pointed to by result without being placed into the completion queue. RETURN VALUE io_cancel() returns 0 on success; on failure, it returns one of the errors listed under ERRORS. ERRORS EINVAL The AIO context specified by ctx_id is invalid. EFAULT One of the data structures points to invalid data. EAGAIN The iocb specified was not canceled. ENOSYS io_cancel() is not implemented on this architecture. VERSIONS The asynchronous I/O system calls first appeared in Linux 2.5, August 2002. CONFORMING TO io_cancel() is Linux specific and should not be used in programs that are intended to be portable.
