== NAME

|
nng_aio_defer - defer asynchronous I/O operation
|
|
|
|
== SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
[source, c]
|
|
----
|
|
#include <nng/nng.h>
|
|
|
|
typedef void (*nng_aio_cancelfn)(nng_aio *aio, void *arg, int err);
|
|
|
|
void nng_aio_defer(nng_aio *aio, nng_aio_cancelfn fn, void *arg);
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
== DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The `nng_aio_defer()` function marks operation associated with _aio_ as
|
|
being deferred for asynchronous completion, and also registers a cancellation
|
|
function _fn_ and associated argument _arg_, thereby
|
|
permitting the operation to be canceled.
|
|
|
|
If the _aio_ is being canceled, the cancellation routine _fn_ will be called
|
|
with the _aio_, the _arg_ specified by `nng_aio_defer()`, and an error
|
|
value in _err_, which is the reason that the operation is being canceled.
|
|
|
|
The operation may not be cancelable; for example it may have already been
|
|
completed, or be in a state where it is no longer possible to unschedule it.
|
|
In this case, the _cancelfn_ should just return without making any changes.
|
|
|
|
If the cancellation routine successfully canceled the operation, it should
|
|
ensure that xref:nng_aio_finish.3.adoc[`nng_aio_finish()`] is called, with the
|
|
error code specified by _err_.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: It is mandatory that I/O providers call
|
|
xref:nng_aio_finish.3.adoc[`nng_aio_finish()`]
|
|
*EXACTLY ONCE* when they are finished with the operation.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This function is only for I/O providers (those actually performing
|
|
the operation such as HTTP handler functions or transport providers); ordinary
|
|
users of the _aio_ should not call this function.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Care must be taken to ensure that cancellation and completion of
|
|
the routine are multi-thread safe; this will usually involve the use
|
|
of locks or other synchronization primitives.
|
|
|
|
TIP: For operations that complete synchronously, without any need to be
|
|
deferred, the provider should not bother to call `nng_aio_defer()`,
|
|
although it is harmless if it does.
