CONTENTS

#include <libaio.h>

int io_destroy (io_context_t ctx);

io_destroy removes the asynchronous I/O context from the list of I/O contexts and then destroys it. io_destroy can also cancel any outstanding asynchronous I/O actions on ctx and block on completion.

io_destroy returns 0 on success.

EINVAL	The AIO context specified by ctx is invalid.
EFAULT	The context pointed to is invalid.
ENOSYS	io_destroy is not implemented on this architecture.

io_destroy is Linux specific and should not be used in programs that are intended to be portable.

The asynchronous I/O system calls first appeared in Linux 2.5, August 2002.

io_setup(2), io_submit(2), io_getevents(2), io_cancel(2).

The asynchronous I/O system calls were written by Benjamin LaHaise.

Kent Yoder.
