aio_suspend(3) Library Functions Manual aio_suspend(3)
aio_suspend - wait for asynchronous I/O operation or timeout
Real-time library (librt, -lrt)
#include <aio.h>
int aio_suspend(int n;
const struct aiocb *const aiocb_list[n], int n,
const struct timespec *restrict timeout);
The aio_suspend() function suspends the calling thread until one
of the following occurs:
• One or more of the asynchronous I/O requests in the list
aiocb_list has completed.
• A signal is delivered.
• timeout is not NULL and the specified time interval has passed.
(For details of the timespec structure, see nanosleep(2).)
The n argument specifies the number of items in aiocb_list. Each
item in the list pointed to by aiocb_list must be either NULL (and
then is ignored), or a pointer to a control block on which I/O was
initiated using aio_read(3), aio_write(3), or lio_listio(3). (See
aio(7) for a description of the aiocb structure.)
If CLOCK_MONOTONIC is supported, this clock is used to measure the
timeout interval (see clock_gettime(2)).
If this function returns after completion of one of the I/O
requests specified in aiocb_list, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is
returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
EAGAIN The call timed out before any of the indicated operations
had completed.
EINTR The call was ended by signal (possibly the completion
signal of one of the operations we were waiting for); see
signal(7).
ENOSYS aio_suspend() is not implemented.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).

POSIX.1-2008.
glibc 2.1. POSIX.1-2001.
POSIX doesn't specify the parameters to be restrict; that is
specific to glibc.
One can achieve polling by using a non-NULL timeout that specifies
a zero time interval.
If one or more of the asynchronous I/O operations specified in
aiocb_list has already completed at the time of the call to
aio_suspend(), then the call returns immediately.
To determine which I/O operations have completed after a
successful return from aio_suspend(), use aio_error(3) to scan the
list of aiocb structures pointed to by aiocb_list.
The glibc implementation of aio_suspend() is not async-signal-
safe, in violation of the requirements of POSIX.1.
