.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBio_getevents\fR() attempts to read at least \fImin_nr\fR events and
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
up to \fInr\fR events from the completion queue of the AIO context
specified by \fIctx_id\fR.
\fItimeout\fR specifies the amount of time to wait for events,
where a NULL timeout waits until at least \fImin_nr\fR events have been seen.
Note that \fItimeout\fR is relative and will be updated if not NULL
and the operation blocks.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
\fBio_getevents\fR() returns the number of events read: 0 if no events are
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
available or < \fImin_nr\fR if the \fItimeout\fR has elapsed.
.SH "ERRORS"
.TP
EINVAL
\fIctx_id\fR is invalid. \fImin_nr\fR is out of range or \fInr\fR is
out of range.
.TP
EFAULT
Either \fIevents\fR or \fItimeout\fR is an invalid pointer.
.TP
ENOSYS
\fBio_getevents\fR() is not implemented on this architecture.

.SH "CONFORMING TO"
.PP
\fBio_getevents\fR() is Linux specific and should not be used in programs that are intended to be portable.

.SH "VERSIONS"
.PP
The asynchronous I/O system calls first appeared in Linux 2.5, August 2002.
