<h4><a name="tag_03_17_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>The <i>aio_read</i>() function shall read <i>aiocbp</i>-><i>aio_nbytes</i> from the file associated with
|
|
<i>aiocbp</i>-><i>aio_fildes</i> into the buffer pointed to by <i>aiocbp</i>-><i>aio_buf</i>. The function call shall return
|
|
when the read request has been initiated or queued to the file or device (even when the data cannot be delivered immediately).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><sup>[<a href="javascript:open_code('PIO')">PIO</a>]</sup> <img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt="[Option Start]" border="0">
|
|
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 <i>aiocbp</i>-><i>aio_reqprio</i>. <img src="../images/opt-end.gif" alt="[Option End]"
|
|
border="0"></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <i>aiocbp</i> value may be used as an argument to <a href="../functions/aio_error.html"><i>aio_error</i>()</a> and <a href=
|
|
"../functions/aio_return.html"><i>aio_return</i>()</a> in order to determine the error status and return status, respectively, of
|
|
the asynchronous operation while it is proceeding. If an error condition is encountered during queuing, the function call shall
|
|
return without having initiated or queued the request. The requested operation takes place at the absolute position in the file as
|
|
given by <i>aio_offset</i>, as if <a href="../functions/lseek.html"><i>lseek</i>()</a> were called immediately prior to the
|
|
operation with an <i>offset</i> equal to <i>aio_offset</i> and a <i>whence</i> equal to SEEK_SET. After a successful call to
|
|
enqueue an asynchronous I/O operation, the value of the file offset for the file is unspecified.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <i>aiocbp</i>-><i>aio_lio_opcode</i> field shall be ignored by <i>aio_read</i>().</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <i>aiocbp</i> argument points to an <b>aiocb</b> structure. If the buffer pointed to by <i>aiocbp</i>-><i>aio_buf</i> or
|
|
the control block pointed to by <i>aiocbp</i> becomes an illegal address prior to asynchronous I/O completion, then the behavior is
|
|
undefined.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Simultaneous asynchronous operations using the same <i>aiocbp</i> produce undefined results.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><sup>[<a href="javascript:open_code('SIO')">SIO</a>]</sup> <img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt="[Option Start]" border="0">
|
|
If synchronized I/O is enabled on the file associated with <i>aiocbp</i>-><i>aio_fildes</i>, 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. <img
|
|
src="../images/opt-end.gif" alt="[Option End]" border="0"></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For regular files, no data transfer shall occur past the offset maximum established in the open file description associated with
|
|
<i>aiocbp</i>-><i>aio_fildes</i>.</p>

<h4><a name="tag_03_17_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>The <i>aio_read</i>() 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 <i>errno</i> to indicate the error.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<h4><a name="tag_03_17_05"></a>ERRORS</h4>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>The <i>aio_read</i>() function shall fail if:</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl compact>
|
|
<dt>[EAGAIN]</dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>The requested asynchronous I/O operation was not queued due to system resource limitations.</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>Each of the following conditions may be detected synchronously at the time of the call to <i>aio_read</i>(), or asynchronously.
|
|
If any of the conditions below are detected synchronously, the <i>aio_read</i>() function shall return -1 and set <i>errno</i> to
|
|
the corresponding value. If any of the conditions below are detected asynchronously, the return status of the asynchronous
|
|
operation is set to -1, and the error status of the asynchronous operation is set to the corresponding value.</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl compact>
|
|
<dt>[EBADF]</dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>The <i>aiocbp</i>-><i>aio_fildes</i> argument is not a valid file descriptor open for reading.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>[EINVAL]</dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>The file offset value implied by <i>aiocbp</i>-><i>aio_offset</i> would be invalid, <i>aiocbp</i>-><i>aio_reqprio</i> is
|
|
not a valid value, or <i>aiocbp</i>-><i>aio_nbytes</i> is an invalid value.</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the case that the <i>aio_read</i>() successfully queues the I/O operation but the operation is subsequently canceled or
|
|
encounters an error, the return status of the asynchronous operation is one of the values normally returned by the <a href=
|
|
"../functions/read.html"><i>read</i>()</a> function call. In addition, the error status of the asynchronous operation is set to one
|
|
of the error statuses normally set by the <a href="../functions/read.html"><i>read</i>()</a> function call, or one of the following
|
|
values:</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl compact>
|
|
<dt>[EBADF]</dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>The <i>aiocbp</i>-><i>aio_fildes</i> argument is not a valid file descriptor open for reading.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>[ECANCELED]</dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>The requested I/O was canceled before the I/O completed due to an explicit <a href=
|
|
"../functions/aio_cancel.html"><i>aio_cancel</i>()</a> request.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>[EINVAL]</dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>The file offset value implied by <i>aiocbp</i>-><i>aio_offset</i> would be invalid.</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following condition may be detected synchronously or asynchronously:</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl compact>
|
|
<dt>[EOVERFLOW]</dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>The file is a regular file, <i>aiobcp</i>-><i>aio_nbytes</i> is greater than 0, and the starting offset in
|
|
<i>aiobcp</i>-><i>aio_offset</i> is before the end-of-file and is at or beyond the offset maximum in the open file description
|
|
associated with <i>aiocbp</i>-><i>aio_fildes</i>.</dd>

<blockquote>
|
|
<p>First released in Issue 5. Included for alignment with the POSIX Realtime Extension.</p>
|

|
<h4><a name="tag_03_17_12"></a>Issue 6</h4>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>The [ENOSYS] error condition has been removed as stubs need not be provided if an implementation does not support the
|
|
Asynchronous Input and Output option.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The APPLICATION USAGE section is added.<br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following new requirements on POSIX implementations derive from alignment with the Single UNIX Specification:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>In the DESCRIPTION, text is added to indicate setting of the offset maximum in the open file description. This change is to
|
|
support large files.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>In the ERRORS section, the [EOVERFLOW] condition is added. This change is to support large files.</p>
