aio_error - retrieve errors status for an asynchronous I/O operation (REALTIME)
The aio_error() function shall return the error status associated with the aiocb structure referenced by the aiocbp argument. The error status for an asynchronous I/O operation is the errno value that would be set by the corresponding read(), write(), [SIO] fdatasync(), or fsync() operation. If the operation has not yet completed, then the error status shall be equal to [EINPROGRESS].
If the asynchronous I/O operation has completed successfully, then 0 shall be returned. If the asynchronous operation has completed unsuccessfully, then the error status, as described for read(), write(), [SIO] fdatasync(), and fsync(), shall be returned. If the asynchronous I/O operation has not yet completed, then [EINPROGRESS] shall be returned.
The aio_error() function may fail if:
- [EINVAL]
- The aiocbp argument does not refer to an asynchronous operation whose return status has not yet been retrieved.
None.
The aio_error() function is part of the Asynchronous Input and Output option and need not be available on all implementations.
None.
None.

First released in Issue 5. Included for alignment with the POSIX Realtime Extension.
The [ENOSYS] error condition has been removed as stubs need not be provided if an implementation does not support the Asynchronous Input and Output option.
The APPLICATION USAGE section is added.
