LIBAIO(3LIB)LIBAIO(3LIB)NAME
libaio - asynchronous I/O library
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -laio [ library... ]
DESCRIPTION
Historically, functions in this library provided asynchronous I/O oper‐
ations. This functionality now resides inlibc(3LIB)
This library is maintained to provide backward compatibility for both
runtime and compilation environments. The shared object is imple‐
mented as a filter on libc.so.1. New application development need not
specify -laio.
INTERFACES
The shared object libaio.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined
below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object inter‐
faces.
aiocancel aioread
aiowait aiowrite
assfail close
fork sigaction
The following interfaces are unique to the 32-bit version of this
library:
aioread64 aiowrite64
