IO_SUBMIT(2)                        Linux Programmer's Manual                        IO_SUBMIT(2)



NAME
       io_submit - Submit asynchronous I/O blocks for processing

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libaio.h>


       extern int io_submit (io_context_t ctx, long nr, struct iocb *ios[]);


DESCRIPTION
       io_submit  queues  nr  I/O request blocks for processing in the AIO context ctx_id. iocbpp
       should be an array of nr AIO request blocks, which will be submitted to context ctx_id.


RETURN VALUE
       io_submit returns the number of iocbs submitted and 0 if nr is zero.


ERRORS
       EINVAL The aio_context specified by ctx_id is invalid.  nr is less than  0.  The  iocb  at
              *iocbpp[0]  is  not properly initialized, or the operation specified is invalid for
              the file descriptor in the iocb.


       EFAULT One of the data structures points to invalid data.


       EBADF  The file descriptor specified in the first iocb is invalid.


       EAGAIN Insufficient resources are available to queue any iocbs.


       ENOSYS io_submit is not implemented on this architecture.


CONFORMING TO
       io_submit is Linux specific and should not be used in programs that  are  intended  to  be
       portable.


VERSIONS
       The asynchronous I/O system calls first appeared in Linux 2.5, August 2002.


SEE ALSO
       io_setup(2), io_destroy(2), io_getevents(2), io_cancel(2).


NOTES
       The asynchronous I/O system calls were written by Benjamin LaHaise.
