#### NAME

> aio_error - retrieve errors status for an asynchronous I/O operation (REALTIME)

#### SYNOPSIS

> ``[AIO] #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(), [SIO] 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(), [SIO] 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

> None.

#### 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.

#### SEE ALSO

> aio_cancel(), aio_fsync(), aio_read(), aio_return(), aio_write(), close(), exec(), exit(), fork(), lio_listio(), lseek(), read(), the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, <aio.h>

#### CHANGE HISTORY

> First released in Issue 5. Included for alignment with the POSIX Realtime Extension.

#### Issue 6

> The [ENOSYS] error condition has been removed as stubs need not be provided if an implementation does not support the Asynchronous Input and Output option.

> The APPLICATION USAGE section is added.
