aio_read Help

[danu]

I'm trying to read asynchronously from a file using aio_read:

/* async I/O structures */
struct aiocb cb;
const struct aiocb* list[1] = { &cb };
int aioRet;

/* set appropriate values in control buffer */
cb.aio_fildes = fromfd;
cb.aio_buf = buffer0;
cb.aio_nbytes = BUFSIZE;
cb.aio_sigevent.sigev_notify = SIGEV_NONE;

while(1) {

/* copy one block asynchronously */
aioRet = aio_read(&cb);

if (aioRet == -1) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s", " aio_read failed:: ");
perror("");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
};
count++;
if(count == 5) break;

}

But when I tried to do this I'm getting an error message saying:
aio_read failed:: Invalid argument

I can't move on further in my program because of this read failure.
what's the reason for this?
I highly suspect it's because I'm trying to do aio_read in a while
loop. (when I remove the while loop it seem works) How do I fix this.
Do I have to use aio_suspend ? I tried that but it didn't resolve the
issue. may be I'm using it in a wrong way.

any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.

aio_read is not standard C. Try asking in a newsgroup that's specific
to your system.

I'm trying to read asynchronously from a file using aio_read:

Good luck, aio_read is not part of the C standard so we don't know
anything about it.

/* async I/O structures */
struct aiocb cb;

Perhaps you should do:
struct aiocb cb = { 0 };
to ensure all fields are initialised.

/* copy one block asynchronously */
aioRet = aio_read(&cb);

Try asking in a group dedicated to your system. There you might find
someone who knows about aio_read.

It would indeed look like you're using aio_read improperly. Nothing you're
doing is asynchronous.

Try comp.unix.programmer. The POSIX AIO interface is newish, so you might
have to exercise some patience.
