+== NAME
+
+nng_aio_set_iov - set scatter/gather vector
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+[source, c]
+-----------
+#include <nng/nng.h>
+
+int nng_aio_set_iov(nng_aio *aio, unsigned int niov, nng_iov *iov);
+-----------
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The `nng_aio_set_iov()` function sets a scatter/gather vector _iov_ on the
+handle _aio_. 
+
+The _iov_ is a pointer to an array of _niov_ `nng_iov` structures, which have
+the following definition:
+
+[source, c]
+----
+    typedef struct nng_iov {
+        void * iov_buf;
+        size_t iov_len;
+    };
+----
+
+The _iov_ is copied into storage in the _aio_ itself, so that callers
+may use stack allocated `nng_iov` structures.  The values pointed to
+by the `iov_buf` members are *not* copied by this function though.
+
+Up to four `nng_iov` members may be supplied without causing any
+allocations, and thus this operation is guaranteed to succeed for
+values of _niov_ less than four.
+
+More than four (4) `nng_iov` members may be supplied, but this may require
+heap allocations, and so the operation may fail with `NNG_ENOMEM`.
+Additionally, not every operation can support longer vectors; the
+actual limit is determined by the system, but is generally at least
+sixteen (16).  Furthermore, values for _niov_ larger than sixty-four (64) will
+generally result in `NNG_EINVAL`.
+
+== RETURN VALUES
+
+This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
+
+== ERRORS
+
+`NNG_ENOMEM`:: Insufficient free memory to perform operation.
+`NNG_EINVAL`:: Value of specified _niov_ is too large.
