+.TH io_destroy 2 (date) "Linux man-pages (unreleased)"
+.SH NAME
+io_destroy \- destroy an asynchronous I/O context
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.BR "#include <linux/aio_abi.h>" "    /* Definition of " aio_context_t " */"
+.BR "#include <sys/syscall.h>" "      /* Definition of " SYS_* " constants */"
+.B #include <unistd.h>
+.P
+.BI "int syscall(SYS_io_destroy, aio_context_t " ctx_id );
+.fi
+.P
+.IR Note :
+glibc provides no wrapper for
+.BR io_destroy (),
+necessitating the use of
+.BR syscall (2).
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IR Note :
+this page describes the raw Linux system call interface.
+The wrapper function provided by
+.I libaio
+uses a different type for the
+.I ctx_id
+argument.
+See VERSIONS.
+.P
+The
+.BR io_destroy ()
+system call
+will attempt to cancel all outstanding asynchronous I/O operations against
+.IR ctx_id ,
+will block on the completion of all operations
+that could not be canceled, and will destroy the
+.IR ctx_id .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success,
+.BR io_destroy ()
+returns 0.
+For the failure return, see VERSIONS.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EFAULT
+The context pointed to is invalid.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+The AIO context specified by \fIctx_id\fP is invalid.
+.TP
+.B ENOSYS
+.BR io_destroy ()
+is not implemented on this architecture.
+.SH VERSIONS
+You probably want to use the
+.BR io_destroy ()
+wrapper function provided by
+.\" http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=libaio.git
+.IR libaio .
+.P
+Note that the
+.I libaio
+wrapper function uses a different type
+.RI ( io_context_t )
+.\" But glibc is confused, since <libaio.h> uses 'io_context_t' to declare
+.\" the system call.
+for the
+.I ctx_id
+argument.
+Note also that the
+.I libaio
+wrapper does not follow the usual C library conventions for indicating errors:
+on error it returns a negated error number
+(the negative of one of the values listed in ERRORS).
+If the system call is invoked via
+.BR syscall (2),
+then the return value follows the usual conventions for
+indicating an error: \-1, with
+.I errno
+set to a (positive) value that indicates the error.
+.SH STANDARDS
+Linux.
+.SH HISTORY
+Linux 2.5.
