Re: aio_return(3): misleading RETURN VALUE

Hello Alexander,

Le mercredi 18 mars 2015 à 09:03:38, Alexander Holler a écrit :

I suggest to use the same wording as in write(2) in the paragraph RETURN
VALUE:

"On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately."

Like that ?

    If the asynchronous I/O operation has completed, this function
    returns the value that would have been returned in case of a
    synchronous read(2), write(2), fsync(2) or fdatasync(2), call. On
    error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

    If the asynchronous I/O operation has not yet completed, the return
    value and effect of aio_return() are undefined.

I think that's what you meant. What will happen if the asynchronous I/O
operation has not yet completed please ?

Regards,
