Hello http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man3/aio_error.3.html Is this really positive?
Do you have some counter-evidence?
errno is an int, and the values I think are not guaranteed to be positive (like with glibc). I work on a system where they are all negative.
Error numbers are all positive. I don't understand your last sentence above. Cheers, Michael
* A positive error, if the asynchronous I/O operation failed. This is the same value that would have been stored in the errno variable in the case of a synchronous read(2), write(2), fsync(2), or fdatasync(2) call. Best regards, Jon
