struct aiocb structure man page

struct aiocb structure man page

[Jon Grant]

Hello

http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man3/aio_write.3.html

Is it possible to also hyperlink the "struct aiocb" to the structure?

I would also be interested in SIGEV_THREAD documentation.

To give an example of some code. we set this macro within the aiocb structure:

aio.aio_sigevent.sigev_notify = SIGEV_THREAD;

I only found this page about SIGEV_THREAD :
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/timer_create.2.html

Best regards, Jon

I've just now pushed to git a new aio(7) man pages that documents the
aiocb structure. Also, various pages have been updated to point to the
recently added sigevent(7) page, which documents SIGEV_*. The changes
will be released in man-pages-3.28.

thanks,

Michael

Fantastic you have been able to add aio(7) and the sigevent(7) page is
really useful.


Looking at this page:
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/timer_create.2.html

int timer_create(clockid_t clockid, struct sigevent *evp,
                        timer_t *timerid);

Re parameter "struct sigevent *evp":

I don't know if this is possible, but could the function parameters
also be hyperlinked to the structure definition page?

Thank you again for adding aio(7).

Best regards, Jon

It's a nice idea, but difficult to drive this from my current scripts.

You're welcome.
