aio_error — retrieve errors status for an asynchronous I/O operation

  #include <aio.h>
  int aio_error(const struct aiocb *aiocbp);

The aio_error/() function shall return the error status associated with the aiocb structure referenced by the /aiocbp argument. The error status for an asynchronous I/O operation is the errno value that would be set by the corresponding /read/(), /write/(), /fdatasync/(), or /fsync/() operation. If the operation has not yet completed, then the error status shall be equal to [EINPROGRESS].

If the aiocb structure pointed to by aiocbp is not associated with an operation that has been scheduled, the results are undefined.

If the asynchronous I/O operation has completed successfully, then 0 shall be returned. If the asynchronous operation has completed unsuccessfully, then the error status, as described for /read/(), /write/(), /fdatasync/(), and /fsync/(), shall be returned. If the asynchronous I/O operation has not yet completed, then [EINPROGRESS] shall be returned.

If the aio_error/() function fails, it shall return -1 and set /errno to indicate the error.

The /aio_error/() function may fail if:

EINVAL

The aiocbp argument does not refer to an asynchronous operation whose return status has not yet been retrieved.
