.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn aio_suspend
function suspends the calling process until all of the specified
asynchronous I/O requests have completed or the
.Ar timeout
has passed.
.Ar iocbs
is an array of 
.Ar niocb
pointers to asynchronous I/O requests.  Array members containing NULL
will be silently ignored.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
If all of the specified asynchronous I/O requests have completed, 
.Fn aio_suspend
returns 0. If the 
.Ar timeout
expired,
.Dv EAGAIN
is returned.  Other return values indicate an error condition as
detailed below.
