-== NAME
-
-nng_aio_alloc - allocate asynchronous I/O handle
-
-== SYNOPSIS
-
-[source, c]
-----
-#include <nng/nng.h>
-
-int nng_aio_alloc(nng_aio **aiop, void (*callb)(void *), void *arg);
-----
-
-== DESCRIPTION
-
-The `nng_aio_alloc()` function allocates a handle for ((asynchronous I/O))
-operations, and stores a pointer to it in __aiop__.
-The handle is initialized with a completion ((callback)) of _callb_,
-which will be executed when an associated asynchronous operation finishes.
-It will be called with the argument _arg_.
-
-NOTE: The callback _callb_ must not perform any blocking operations, and
-must complete its execution quickly. If _callb_ does block, this can
-lead ultimately to an apparent "hang" or deadlock in the application.
-This also means you should avoid operations such as allocating new objects,
-which also means opening or closing sockets, dialers, and so forth.
-
-TIP: If more complex or blocking work needs to be performed by _callb_, a separate
-thread can be used, along with a xref:nng_cv_alloc.3supp.adoc[condition variable]
-which can be signaled by the callback.
-
-Asynchronous I/O operations all take an xref:nng_aio.5.adoc[`nng_aio`]
-handle such as allocated by this function.
-Such operations are usually started by a function that returns immediately.
-The operation is then run asynchronously, and completes sometime later.
-When that operation is complete, the callback supplied here is called,
-and that callback is able to determine the result of the operation using
-xref:nng_aio_result.3.adoc[`nng_aio_result()`],
-xref:nng_aio_count.3.adoc[`nng_aio_count()`],
-and xref:nng_aio_get_output.3.adoc[`nng_aio_get_output()`].
-
-It is possible to wait synchronously for an otherwise asynchronous operation
-by using the function xref:nng_aio_wait.3.adoc[`nng_aio_wait()`].
-In that case, it is permissible for _callb_ and _arg_ to both be `NULL`.
-Note that if these are `NULL`, then it will not be possible to determine when the
-operation is complete except by calling the aforementioned
-xref:nng_aio_wait.3.adoc[`nng_aio_wait()`].
-
-== RETURN VALUES
-
-This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
-
-== ERRORS
-
-[horizontal]
-`NNG_ENOMEM`:: Insufficient free memory to perform the operation.
