aio_cancel -- cancel an outstanding asynchronous I/O operation (REALTIME)
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
#include <aio.h>
int
aio_cancel(int fildes, struct aiocb * iocb);
The aio_cancel() system call cancels the outstanding asynchronous I/O
request for the file descriptor specified in fildes. If iocb is specified,
only that specific asynchronous I/O request is cancelled.
Normal asynchronous notification occurs for cancelled requests. Requests
complete with an error result of ECANCELED.
The aio_cancel() system call does not cancel asynchronous I/O requests
for raw disk devices. The aio_cancel() system call will always return
AIO_NOTCANCELED for file descriptors associated with raw disk devices.
The aio_cancel() system call returns -1 to indicate an error, or one of
the following:
[AIO_CANCELED]
All outstanding requests meeting the criteria specified
were cancelled.
[AIO_NOTCANCELED]
Some requests were not cancelled, status for the requests
should be checked with aio_error(2).
[AIO_ALLDONE]
All of the requests meeting the criteria have finished.
An error return from aio_cancel() indicates:
[EBADF] The fildes argument is an invalid file descriptor.
aio_error(2), aio_read(2), aio_return(2), aio_suspend(2), aio_write(2),
aio(4)
The aio_cancel() system call is expected to conform to the IEEE Std
1003.1 (``POSIX.1'') standard.
The aio_cancel() system call first appeared in FreeBSD 3.0. The first
functional implementation of aio_cancel() appeared in FreeBSD 4.0.

Christopher M Sedore <[email protected]> updated it when
aio_cancel() was implemented for FreeBSD 4.0.
