.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBio_setup\fR() creates an asynchronous I/O context capable of receiving
|
|
at least \fInr_events\fR.
|
|
\fIctxp\fR must not point to an AIO context that already exists, and must
|
|
be initialized to 0 prior to the call.
|
|
On successful creation of the AIO context, \fI*ctxp\fR is filled in
|
|
with the resulting handle.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBio_setup\fR() returns 0 on success;
|
|
on failure, it returns one of the errors listed under ERRORS.
|
|
.SH "ERRORS"
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B EINVAL
|
|
\fIctxp\fR is not initialized, or the specified \fInr_events\fR
|
|
exceeds internal limits. \fInr_events\fR should be greater than 0.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B EFAULT
|
|
An invalid pointer is passed for \fIctxp\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B ENOMEM
|
|
Insufficient kernel resources are available.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B EAGAIN
|
|
The specified \fInr_events\fR exceeds the user's limit of available events.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B ENOSYS
|
|
\fBio_setup\fR() is not implemented on this architecture.
|
|
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBio_setup\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.
