Instead the completed request can just 38be re-initialized and it is ready to be used again. 39 40A request can only be re-initialized if it either has not been queued 41yet, or if it was queued and completed. Otherwise it will set ``errno`` 42to ``EBUSY``. No other error codes can be returned. 43 44Return Value 45============ 46 47On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set 48appropriately. 49 50EBUSY 51 The request is queued but not yet completed. 52
