SYNOPSIS
#include <errno.h>
#include <libaio.h>
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
io_prep_pread is an inline convenience function designed to facilitate the initialization of the iocb for an asynchronous read operation.The first iocb->u.c.nbytes = count bytes of the file for which iocb->aio_fildes = fd is a descriptor are written to the buffer starting at iocb->u.c.buf = buf. Reading 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.
