+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+
+.PP
+\fBio_submit\fR queues \fInr\fR I/O request blocks for processing in 
+the AIO context \fIctx_id\fR. \fIiocbpp\fR should be an array of 
+\fInr\fR AIO request blocks, which will be submitted to context \fIctx_id\fR.
+
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+
+.PP
+\fBio_submit\fR returns the number of \fIiocb\fRs submitted and 
+0 if \fInr\fR is zero.
+
+.SH "ERRORS"
+
+.TP
+EINVAL
+The \fIaio_context\fR specified by \fIctx_id\fR is invalid. 
+\fInr\fR is less than 0. The \fIiocb\fR at *iocbpp[0] is not properly 
+initialized, or the operation specified is invalid for the file descriptor 
+in the \fIiocb\fR.
+
+.TP
+EFAULT
+One of the data structures points to invalid data.
+
+.TP
+EBADF
+The file descriptor specified in the first \fIiocb\fR is invalid.
+
+.TP
+EAGAIN
+Insufficient resources are available to queue any \fIiocb\fRs.
+
+.TP
+ENOSYS
+\fBio_submit\fR is not implemented on this architecture.
+
+.SH "CONFORMING TO"
+
+.PP
+\fBio_submit\fR is Linux specific and should not be used in programs that are intended to be portable.
+
+.SH "VERSIONS"
+
+.PP
+The asynchronous I/O system calls first appeared in Linux 2.5, August 2002.
+
+.SH "SEE ALSO"

+
+.SH "NOTES"
+
+.PP
+The asynchronous I/O system calls were written by Benjamin LaHaise.
