NAME

ldi_aread, ldi_awrite - Issue an asynchronous read or write request
to a device

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/sunldi.h>

int ldi_aread(ldi_handle_t lh, struct aio_req *aio_reqp, cred_t *cr);


int ldi_awrite(ldi_handle_t lh, struct aio_req *aio_reqp, cred_t *cr);

PARAMETERS

lh
Layered handle.


cr
Pointer to a credential structure.


aio_reqp
Pointer to the aio_req(9S) structure that describes
where the data is to be stored or obtained from.

DESCRIPTION

The ldi_awrite() function passes an asynchronous write request to a
device entry point specified by the layered handle. This operation is
supported for block and character devices.


The ldi_aread() function passes an asynchronous read request to a
device entry point specified by the layered handle. This operation is
supported for block and character devices.

RETURN VALUES

The ldi_awrite() and ldi_aread() functions return 0 upon success. If
a failure occurs before the request is passed on to the device, the
possible return values are shown below. Otherwise any other error
number may be returned by the device.

EINVAL
