io_prep_pwrite(3) Set up iocb for asynchronous writes

SYNOPSIS

#include <errno.h>


#include <libaio.h>

inline void io_prep_pwrite(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

io_prep_write is a convenicence function for setting up parallel writes.

The first iocb->u.c.nbytes = count bytes of the file for which iocb->aio_fildes = fd is a descriptor are written from the buffer starting at iocb->u.c.buf = buf. Writing starts at the absolute position ioc->u.c.offset = offset in the file.

This function returns immediately. To schedule the operation, the function io_submit must be called.

Simultaneous asynchronous operations using the same iocb produce undefined results.

RETURN VALUES

None.

ERRORS

None.
