.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBio_cancel\fR() attempts to cancel an asynchronous I/O operation
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
previously submitted with the \fBio_submit\fR system call.
\fIctx_id\fR is the AIO context ID of the operation to be cancelled.
If the AIO context is found, the event will be cancelled and then copied
into the memory pointed to by \fIresult\fR without being placed
into the completion queue.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
\fBio_cancel\fR() returns 0 on success; otherwise, it returns one of the
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
errors listed in the "Errors" section.
.SH "ERRORS"
.TP
EINVAL
The AIO context specified by \fIctx_id\fR is invalid.
.TP
EFAULT
One of the data structures points to invalid data.
.TP
EAGAIN
The \fIiocb\fR specified was not cancelled.
.TP
ENOSYS
\fBio_cancel\fR() is not implemented on this architecture.

.SH "VERSIONS"
.PP
The asynchronous I/O system calls first appeared in Linux 2.5, August 2002.
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
.PP
2006-12-27 03:54:41 +00:00
\fBio_cancel\fR() is Linux specific and should not be used
in programs that are intended to be portable.
