Hello I saw that all these pages (list below) have "/* Defines needed types */" after the aio_abi.h include in the SYNOPSIS. I don't think this is needed, as other man pages don't state this. Also, as aio_abi.h does not declare these functions, would it be better to specify the necessary include <libaio.h>? -- NB. Possibly I am not understanding something, as it may be different as they are kernel function interfaces. http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/io_submit.2.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/io_cancel.2.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/io_destroy.2.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/io_getevents.2.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/io_setup.2.html Other feedback: A) io_getevents page says <linux/time.h> is needed, however does it need this if <libaio.h> is wrriten? libaio.h forward declares on line 33 struct timespec B) io_setup in NOTES section starts with: "Glibc does not provide a wrapper function for this system call. You could invoke it using syscall(2). But instead, you probably want to use the io_setup() wrapper function provided by libaio." Normally sentences don't start with But in this way, also could it say the io_setup wrapper function name? I looked, but could not find what it was called. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/aio/ is empty! Not sure what is wrong with io_setup though, as developers can call the other functions still which are all part of the same kernel interface <linux/aio_abi.h> I propose: "Glibc does not provide a wrapper function for this system call. You could invoke it using syscall(2). However, better to use the io_setup() wrapper function provided by libaio io_setup_XYZ_WRAPPER."
