NAME
     libaio - asynchronous I/O library

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -laio [ library... ]


DESCRIPTION
     Historically, functions in this library  provided  asynchro-
     nous   I/O   operations.   This  functionality  now  resides
     inlibc(3LIB)


     This library is maintained to provide backward compatibility
     for  both  runtime  and compilation environments. The shared
     object is implemented as a filter on libc.so.1. New applica-
     tion development need not specify -laio.

INTERFACES
     The shared object libaio.so.1 provides the public interfaces
     defined  below.  See  Intro(3) for additional information on
     shared object interfaces.



     aiocancel                     aioread
     aiowait                       aiowrite
     assfail                       close
     fork                          sigaction



     The following interfaces are unique to the 32-bit version of
     this library:



     aioread64                     aiowrite64


FILES
     /lib/libaio.so.1       shared object


     /lib/64/libaio.so.1    64-bit shared object
