NAME

io_prep_pread - Set up asynchronous read

SYNOPSYS

#include <errno.h>
 
#include <libaio.h>
I inline void io_prep_pread(struct iocb *iocb, int fd, void *buf, size_t count, long long offset) " struct iocb { void *data; unsigned key; short aio_lio_opcode; short aio_reqprio; int aio_fildes; };

DESCRIPTION

R io_prep_pread is an inline convenience function designed to facilitate the initialization of the iocb for an asynchronous read operation. The first
R iocb->u.c.nbytes = count
bytes of the file for which
R iocb->aio_fildes = fd
is a descriptor are written to the buffer starting at
R iocb->u.c.buf = buf
.
Reading starts at the absolute position
R ioc->u.c.offset = offset
in the file.
This function returns immediately . To schedule the operation, the function R io_submit must be called.
Simultaneous asynchronous operations using the same iocb produce undefined results.

RETURN VALUES

None

ERRORS

None
