System Functions (s and S) spt_readv(2)
NAME
spt_readv - Initiates thread-aware readv( ) function
LIBRARY
G-series native OSS processes: /G/system/sysnn/zsptsrl
H-series OSS processes: /G/system/zdllnnn/zsptdll
SYNOPSIS
#include <spthread.h>
ssize_t spt_readv(
int filedes,
struct iovec *iov,
int iov_count);
PARAMETERS
See the readv(2) reference page.
DESCRIPTION
This is a thread-aware version of the readv() function. The file descriptor must be nonblocking
for this function to be thread-aware.
The following macro maps spt_readv() to readv() and has been defined in spthread.h:
#define readv(filedes, iov, iov_count)
spt_readv(filedes, iov, iov_count)
This macro is available only when SPT_THREAD_AWARE has been defined before including
spthread.h, as follows:
#define SPT_THREAD_AWARE
RETURN VALUES
See the readv(2) reference page. The following also applies:
• The value of errno is never set to [EWOULDBLOCK] or [EAGAIN].
• If the file descriptor becomes invalid (is closed by another thread), -1 is returned with an
errno of [EBADF].
• If a signal is received via the pthread_kill() function and is not blocked, ignored, or
handled, -1 is returned with an errno of [EINTR].
STANDARDS CONFORMANCE
This function is an extension to the XPG4 Version 2 specification. Interfaces documented on this
reference page conform to the following industry standards:
• IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface
The use of the header file spthread.h is an HP exception to the POSIX standard.
