+== NAME
+
+nng_aio_count - return number of bytes transferred
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+[source, c]
+-----------
+#include <nng/nng.h>
+
+size_t nng_aio_count(nng_aio *aio);
+-----------
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The `nng_aio_count()` returns the number of bytes transferred by the
+asynchronous operation associated with the handle _aio_.
+
+Some asynchronous operations do not provide meaningful data for this
+function; for example operations that establish connections do not
+transfer user data (they may transfer protocol data though) -- in this case
+this function will generally return zero.
+
+This function is most useful when used with operations that make use of
+of a scatter/gather vector (set by <<nng_aio_set_iov#,nng_aio_set_iov(3)>>).
+
+NOTE: The return value from this function is undefined if the operation
+has not completed yet. Either call this from the handle's completion
+callback, or after waiting for the operation to complete with
+<<nng_aio_wait#,nng_aio_wait(3)>>.
+
+== RETURN VALUES
+
+The number of bytes transferred by the operation.
+
+== ERRORS
+
+None.
