aio_return — retrieve return status of an asynchronous I/O operation

  #include <aio.h>
  ssize_t aio_return(struct aiocb *aiocbp);

The aio_return/() function shall return the return status associated with the aiocb structure referenced by the /aiocbp argument. The return status for an asynchronous I/O operation is the value that would be returned by the corresponding /read/(), /write/(), or /fsync/() function call. If the error status for the operation is equal to [EINPROGRESS], then the return status for the operation is undefined. The /aio_return/() function may be called exactly once to retrieve the return status of a given asynchronous operation; thereafter, if the same aiocb structure is used in a call to /aio_return/() or /aio_error/(), an error may be returned. When the aiocb structure referred to by aiocbp is used to submit another asynchronous operation, then /aio_return/() may be successfully used to retrieve the return status of that operation.

If the asynchronous I/O operation has completed, then the return status, as described for /read/(), /write/(), and /fsync/(), shall be returned. If the asynchronous I/O operation has not yet completed, the results of /aio_return/() are undefined.

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

The /aio_return/() function may fail if:

EINVAL

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