       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       aio_cancel — cancel an asynchronous I/O request

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <aio.h>

       int aio_cancel(int fildes, struct aiocb *aiocbp);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The aio_cancel() function shall attempt to cancel one or more
       asynchronous I/O requests currently outstanding against file
       descriptor fildes.  The aiocbp argument points to the
       asynchronous I/O control block for a particular request to be
       canceled. If aiocbp is NULL, then all outstanding cancelable
       asynchronous I/O requests against fildes shall be canceled.

       Normal asynchronous notification shall occur for asynchronous I/O
       operations that are successfully canceled. If there are requests
       that cannot be canceled, then the normal asynchronous completion
       process shall take place for those requests when they are
       completed.

       For requested operations that are successfully canceled, the
       associated error status shall be set to [ECANCELED] and the
       return status shall be -1. For requested operations that are not
       successfully canceled, the aiocbp shall not be modified by
       aio_cancel().

       If aiocbp is not NULL, then if fildes does not have the same
       value as the file descriptor with which the asynchronous
       operation was initiated, unspecified results occur.

       Which operations are cancelable is implementation-defined.

RETURN VALUE         top

       The aio_cancel() function shall return the value AIO_CANCELED if
       the requested operation(s) were canceled.  The value
       AIO_NOTCANCELED shall be returned if at least one of the
       requested operation(s) cannot be canceled because it is in
       progress. In this case, the state of the other operations, if
       any, referenced in the call to aio_cancel() is not indicated by
       the return value of aio_cancel().  The application may determine
       the state of affairs for these operations by using aio_error().
       The value AIO_ALLDONE is returned if all of the operations have
       already completed.  Otherwise, the function shall return -1 and
       set errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS         top

       The aio_cancel() function shall fail if:

       EBADF  The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor.
