27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm aio_cancel
30.Nd cancel an outstanding asynchronous I/O operation (REALTIME)
31.Sh LIBRARY
32.Lb libc
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.In aio.h
35.Ft int
36.Fn aio_cancel "int fildes" "struct aiocb *iocb"
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The
39.Fn aio_cancel
40system call cancels the outstanding asynchronous
41I/O request for the file descriptor specified in
42.Fa fildes .
43If
44.Fa iocb
45is specified, only that specific asynchronous I/O request is cancelled.
46.Pp
47Normal asynchronous notification occurs for cancelled requests.
48Requests complete with an error result of
49.Er ECANCELED .
50.Sh RESTRICTIONS
51The
52.Fn aio_cancel
53system call does not cancel asynchronous I/O requests for raw disk devices.
54The
55.Fn aio_cancel
56system call will always return
57.Dv AIO_NOTCANCELED
58for file descriptors associated with raw disk devices.
59.Sh RETURN VALUES
60The
61.Fn aio_cancel
62system call returns -1 to indicate an error, or one of the following:
63.Bl -tag -width Dv
64.It Bq Dv AIO_CANCELED
65All outstanding requests meeting the criteria specified were cancelled.
66.It Bq Dv AIO_NOTCANCELED
67Some requests were not cancelled, status for the requests should be
68checked with
69.Xr aio_error 2 .
70.It Bq Dv AIO_ALLDONE
71All of the requests meeting the criteria have finished.
72.El
73.Sh ERRORS
74An error return from
75.Fn aio_cancel
76indicates:
77.Bl -tag -width Er
78.It Bq Er EBADF
79The
80.Fa fildes
81argument
82is an invalid file descriptor.

91.Sh STANDARDS
92The
93.Fn aio_cancel
94system call is expected to conform to the
95.St -p1003.1
96standard.
97.Sh HISTORY
98The
99.Fn aio_cancel
100system call first appeared in
101.Fx 3.0 .
102The first functional implementation of
103.Fn aio_cancel
104appeared in
105.Fx 4.0 .
