NAME
nng_aio - asynchronous I/O handle
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
An nng_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 nng_aio_cancel()), as well setting a maximum
timeout for them to complete within
(see nng_aio_set_timeout()).
It is also possible to initiate an asynchronous operation, and wait for it to
complete using nng_aio_wait().
These structures are created using the nng_aio_alloc(),
and destroyed using nng_aio_free().
