AIO_CANCEL(2)		      System Calls Manual		 AIO_CANCEL(2)

NAME
       aio_cancel  --  cancel an outstanding asynchronous I/O operation	(REAL-
       TIME)

LIBRARY
       Standard	C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<aio.h>

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

DESCRIPTION
       The aio_cancel()	system call cancels the	outstanding  asynchronous  I/O
       request for the file descriptor specified in fildes.  If	iocb is	speci-
       fied, only that specific	asynchronous I/O request is cancelled.

       Normal  asynchronous  notification  occurs for cancelled	requests.  Re-
       quests complete with an error result of ECANCELED.

RESTRICTIONS
       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.

RETURN VALUES
       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.

ERRORS
       An error	return from aio_cancel() indicates:

       [EBADF]		  The fildes argument is an invalid file descriptor.

SEE ALSO
       aio_error(2), aio_read(2), aio_return(2), aio_suspend(2), aio_write(2),
       aio(4)

STANDARDS
       The  aio_cancel()  system  call	is expected to conform to the IEEE Std
       1003.1 ("POSIX.1") standard.

HISTORY
       The aio_cancel()	system call first appeared in FreeBSD 3.0.  The	 first
       functional implementation of aio_cancel() appeared in FreeBSD 4.0.
