AIO_SUSPEND(3)                Linux Programmer's Manual                AIO_SUSPEND(3)

NAME         top

       aio_suspend - wait for asynchronous I/O operation or timeout

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <aio.h>

       int aio_suspend(const struct aiocb * const cblist[],
                       int n, const struct timespec *timeout);

       Link with -lrt.

DESCRIPTION         top

       The aio_suspend() function suspends the calling process until at least one of
       the asynchronous I/O requests in the list cblist of length n have completed, a
       signal is delivered, or timeout is not NULL and the time interval it indicates
       has passed.

       Each item in the list must either be NULL (and then is ignored), or a pointer
       to a control block on which I/O was initiated using aio_read(3), aio_write(3),
       or lio_listio(3).

       If CLOCK_MONOTONIC is supported, this clock is used to measure the timeout
       interval.

RETURN VALUE         top

       If this function returns after completion of one of the indicated requests, it
       returns 0.  Otherwise it returns -1 and sets errno appropriately.

ERRORS         top

       EAGAIN The call was ended by timeout, before any of the indicated operations
              had completed.

       EINTR  The call was ended by signal; see signal(7).  (Possibly the completion
              signal of one of the operations we were waiting for.)

CONFORMING TO         top

       POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES         top

       One can achieve polling by using a non-NULL timeout that specifies a zero time
       interval.
