 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 The
 .Fn aio_cancel
-function is supposed to cancel the specified outstanding asynchronous
-I/O request.
+function cancels the outstanding asynchronous
+I/O request for the file descriptor specified in
+.Ar fildes .
+If
+.Ar iocb
+is specified, only that specific asynchronous I/O request is cancelled.
+.Pp
+Normal asynchronous notification occurs for cancelled requests.  Requests
+complete with an error result of
+.Dv ECANCELED .
+.Sh RESTRICTIONS
+The
+.Fn aio_cancel
+function does not cancel asynchronous I/O requests for raw disk devices.  The
 .Fn aio_cancel
-is not implemented at this time, and always fails returning
-.Dv ENOSYS .
+function will always return
+.Dv AIO_NOTCANCELED
+for file descriptors associated with raw disk devices.
 .Sh RETURN VALUES
-When
+The
 .Fn aio_cancel
-inevitably fails, it returns
-.Dv ENOSYS
-to signify it is not supported.
