== NAME

|
nng_aio - asynchronous I/O handle
|
|
|
|
== SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
[source, c]
|
|
----
|
|
#include <nng/nng.h>
|
|
|
|
typedef struct nng_aio nng_aio;
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
== DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
An `nng_aio`(((aio))) is an opaque structure used in conjunction with
|
|
((asynchronous I/O)) operations.
|
|
Every asynchronous operation uses one of these structures, each of which
|
|
can only be used with a single operation at a time.
|
|
|
|
Asynchronous operations are performed without blocking calling application
|
|
threads.
|
|
Instead the application registers a callback function to be executed
|
|
when the operation is complete (whether successfully or not).
|
|
This callback will be executed exactly once.
|
|
|
|
The asynchronous I/O framework also supports cancellation of
|
|
operations that are already in progress
|
|
(see xref:nng_aio_cancel.3.adoc[`nng_aio_cancel()`]), as well setting a maximum
|
|
timeout for them to complete within
|
|
(see xref:nng_aio_set_timeout.3.adoc[`nng_aio_set_timeout()`]).
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to initiate an asynchronous operation, and wait for it to
|
|
complete using xref:nng_aio_wait.3.adoc[`nng_aio_wait()`].
|
|
|
|
These structures are created using the xref:nng_aio_alloc.3.adoc[`nng_aio_alloc()`],
|
|
and destroyed using xref:nng_aio_free.3.adoc[`nng_aio_free()`].
