Description

The aio_error() function returns the error status for the asynchronous I/O request with control block pointed to by aiocbp. (See aio(7) for a description of the aiocb structure.)

Return Value

EINPROGRESS if the request has not been completed yet.

ECANCELED if the request was canceled.

0 if the request completed successfully.
