io_submit (2)

IO_SUBMIT(2) Linux Programmer's Manual IO_SUBMIT(2) NAME io_submit - submit asynchronous I/O blocks for processing SYNOPSIS #include <libaio.h> int io_submit(aio_context_t ctx_id, long nr, struct iocb **iocbpp); Link with -laio. DESCRIPTION io_submit() queues nr I/O request blocks for processing in the AIO con- text ctx_id. iocbpp should be an array of nr AIO request blocks, which will be submitted to context ctx_id. RETURN VALUE On success, io_submit() returns the number of iocbs submitted (which may be 0 if nr is zero); on failure, it returns one of the errors listed under ERRORS. ERRORS EINVAL The aio_context specified by ctx_id is invalid. nr is less than 0. The iocb at *iocbpp[0] is not properly initialized, or the operation specified is invalid for the file descriptor in the iocb. EFAULT One of the data structures points to invalid data. EBADF The file descriptor specified in the first iocb is invalid. EAGAIN Insufficient resources are available to queue any iocbs. ENOSYS io_submit() is not implemented on this architecture. VERSIONS The asynchronous I/O system calls first appeared in Linux 2.5, August 2002. CONFORMING TO io_submit() is Linux specific and should not be used in programs that are intended to be portable.
