29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm aio_cancel
32.Nd cancel an outstanding asynchronous I/O operation (REALTIME)
33.Sh LIBRARY
34.Lb librt
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.In aio.h
37.Ft int
38.Fn aio_cancel "int fildes" "struct aiocb * iocb"
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Fn aio_cancel
42function cancels the outstanding asynchronous
43I/O request for the file descriptor specified in
44.Fa fildes .
45If
46.Fa iocb
47is specified, only that specific asynchronous I/O request is cancelled.
48.Pp
49Normal asynchronous notification occurs for cancelled requests.
50Requests complete with an error result of
51.Er ECANCELED .
52.Sh RESTRICTIONS
53The
54.Fn aio_cancel
55function does not cancel asynchronous I/O requests for raw disk devices.
56The
57.Fn aio_cancel
58function will always return
59.Dv AIO_NOTCANCELED
60for file descriptors associated with raw disk devices.
61.Sh RETURN VALUES
62The
63.Fn aio_cancel
64function returns -1 to indicate an error, or one of the following:
65.Bl -tag -width Dv
66.It Bq Dv AIO_CANCELED
67All outstanding requests meeting the criteria specified were cancelled.
68.It Bq Dv AIO_NOTCANCELED
69Some requests were not cancelled, status for the requests should be
70checked with
71.Xr aio_error 3 .
72.It Bq Dv AIO_ALLDONE
73All of the requests meeting the criteria have finished.
74.El
75.Sh ERRORS
76An error return from
77.Fn aio_cancel
78indicates:
79.Bl -tag -width Er
80.It Bq Er EBADF
81.Fa fildes
82is an invalid file descriptor.

90.Sh STANDARDS
91The
92.Fn aio_cancel
93function is expected to conform to the
94.St -p1003.2
95standard.
96.Sh HISTORY
97The
98.Fn aio_cancel
99function first appeared in
100.Fx 3.0 .
101The first functional implementation of
102.Fn aio_cancel
103appeared in
104.Fx 4.0 .
