Retrieves the error status of an asynchronous I/O request.
#include <aio.h>
int aio_error(handle) aio_handle_t handle;
int aio_error64(handle) aio_handle_t handle;
The aio_error subroutine retrieves the error status of the asynchronous request associated with the handle parameter. The error status is the errno value that would be set by the corresponding I/O operation. The error status is EINPROG if the I/O operation is still in progress.
The aio_error64 subroutine is similar to the aio_error subroutine except that it retrieves the error status associated with an aiocb64 control block.
The aio_error and aio_error64 subroutines can be called from the process environment only.
| 0 | Indicates that the operation completed successfully. |
| ECANCELED | Indicates that the I/O request was canceled due to an aio_cancel subroutine call. |
| EINPROG | Indicates that the I/O request has not completed. |
| An errno value described in
the aio_read, aio_write, and lio_listio subroutines: Indicates that the operation was not queued successfully. For example, if the aio_read subroutine is called with an unusable file descriptor, it (aio_read) returns a value of -1 and sets the errno global variable to EBADF. A subsequent call of the aio_error subroutine with the handle of the unsuccessful aio control block (aiocb) structure returns EBADF. | |
| An errno value of the
corresponding I/O operation: Indicates that the operation was initiated successfully, but the actual I/O operation was unsuccessful. For example, calling the aio_write subroutine on a file located in a full file system returns a value of 0, which indicates the request was queued successfully. However, when the I/O operation is complete (that is, when the aio_error subroutine no longer returns EINPROG), the aio_error subroutine returns ENOSPC. This indicates that the I/O was unsuccessful. |
The aio_error and aio_error64 subroutines are part of Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
