+.Sh NAME
+.Nm aio_write
+.Nd asynchronus write to a file (REALTIME)
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <aio.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn aio_write "struct aiocb *iocb"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn aio_write
+function allows the calling process to write
+.Ar iocb->aio_nbytes
+from the buffer pointed to by
+.Ar iocb->aio_buf
+to the descriptor
+.Ar iocb->aio_fildes .
+The call returns immediately after the write request has been enqueued
+to the descriptor; the write may or may not have completed at the time
+the call returns. If the request could not be enqueued, generally due
+to invalid arguments, the call returns without having enqueued the
+request.
+.Pp
+If
+.Dv O_APPEND
+is set for
+.Ar iocb->aio_fildes ,
+.Fn aio_write
+operations append to the file in the same order as the calls were
+made. If
+.Dv O_APPEND
+is not set for the file descriptor, the write operation will occur at
+the absolute position from the beginning of the file plus
+.Ar iocb->aio_offset .
+.Pp
+If
+.Dv _POSIX_PRIORITIZED_IO
+is defined, and the descriptor supports it, then the enqueued
+operation is submitted at a priority equal to that of the calling
+process minus
+.Ar iocb->aio_reqprio .
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar iocb
+pointer may be subsequently used as an argument to
+.Fn aio_return
+and
+.Fn aio_error
+in order to determine return or error status for the enqueued operation
+while it is in progress.
+.Pp
+If the request is successfully enqueued, the value of
+.Ar iocb->aio_offset
+can be modified during the request as context, so this value must not
+be referenced after the request is enqueued.
+.Sh RESTRICTIONS
+The Asynchronous I/O Control Block structure pointed to by
+.Ar iocb
+and the buffer that the
+.Ar iocb->aio_buf
+member of that structure references must remain valid until the
+operation has completed. For this reason, use of auto (stack) variables
+for these objects is discouraged.
+.Pp
+The asynchronous I/O control buffer
+.Ar iocb
+should be zeroed before the
+.Fn aio_read
+call to avoid passing bogus context information to the kernel.
+.Pp
+Modifications of the Asynchronous I/O Control Block structure or the
+buffer contents after the request has been enqueued, but before the
+request has completed, are not allowed.
+.Pp
+If the file offset in
+.Ar iocb->aio_offset
+is past the offset maximum for
+.Ar iocb->aio_fildes ,
+no I/O will occur.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
