SYNOPSIS
#include <aio.h>
int aio_error(const struct aiocb *aiocbp);
DESCRIPTION
The aio_error() function shall return the error status associated with the aiocb structure referenced by the aiocbp argument. The error status for an asynchronous I/O operation is the errno value that would be set by the corresponding read(), write(), fdatasync(), or fsync() operation. If the operation has not yet completed, then the error status shall be equal to [EINPROGRESS].
RETURN VALUE
If the asynchronous I/O operation has completed successfully, then 0 shall be returned. If the asynchronous operation has completed unsuccessfully, then the error status, as described for read(), write(), fdatasync(), and fsync(), shall be returned. If the asynchronous I/O operation has not yet completed, then [EINPROGRESS] shall be returned.
ERRORS
The aio_error() function may fail if:
- EINVAL
-
The aiocbp argument does not refer to an asynchronous operation
whose return status has not yet been retrieved.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES

APPLICATION USAGE
The aio_error() function is part of the Asynchronous Input and Output option and need not be available on all implementations.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
