+== NAME
+
+nng_aio_busy - test if asynchronous I/O is busy
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+[source, c]
+----
+#include <nng/nng.h>
+
+bool nng_aio_busy(nng_aio *aio);
+----
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The `nng_aio_busy()` function returns true if the
+_aio_ is currently busy performing an asynchronous I/O
+operation or is executing a completion callback.
+
+If no operation has been started, or the operation has
+been completed or canceled, and any callback has been
+executed, then it returns false.
+
+This is the same test used internally by
+xref:nng_aio_wait.3.adoc[`nng_aio_wait()`]
+
+NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that the _aio_ object is not
+freed when using this function. The caller is responsible for
+coordinating any use of this with any reuse of the _aio_.
+
+== RETURN VALUES
+
+True if the _aio_ is busy, false otherwise.
+
+== ERRORS
+
+None.
