I just checked on a Digital Unix system and it does not have a manpage for aioread, but it does have one for aio_read. The references at the bottom of the aio_read page pointed to another function called lio_listio, which looks more interesting. I cant tell if its POSIX, but it also appears on Solaris and in the API for the unix that HP and SCO are developing ( http://www3.sco.com/Company/scohp/apimatrix.htm ) Here is the top of the manpage:
lio_listio(3) lio_listio(3)
NAME
lio_listio - Initiate a list of asynchronous I/O requests
SYNOPSIS
#include <aio.h>
int lio_listio ( int mode, struct aiocb *list[], int nent, struct sigevent *sig );
PARAMETERS
mode Determines whether the lio_listio function returns when the I/O opera- tions are completed or as soon as the operations are queued. The mode argument can have a value of either LIO_WAIT or LIO_NOWAIT.
Anyway I thought this might be interesting.
Jim
