<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>nng_aio_alloc()</code> function allocates a handle for asynchronous I/O
operations, and stores a pointer to it in <em>aiop</em>.
The handle is initialized with a completion callback of <em>callb</em>,
which will be executed when an associated asynchronous operation finishes.
It will be called with the argument <em>arg</em>.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock note">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="icon">
<i class="fa icon-note" title="Note"></i>
</td>
<td class="content">
The callback <em>callb</em> must not perform any blocking operations, and
must complete its execution quickly. If <em>callb</em> does block, this can
lead ultimately to an apparent "hang" or deadlock in the application.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Asynchronous I/O operations all take an <a href="nng_aio.5.html"><code>nng_aio</code></a>
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
<a href="nng_aio_result.3.html"><code>nng_aio_result()</code></a>,
<a href="nng_aio_count.3.html"><code>nng_aio_count()</code></a>,
and <a href="nng_aio_get_output.3.html"><code>nng_aio_get_output()</code></a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>It is possible to wait synchronously for an otherwise asynchronous operation
by using the function <a href="nng_aio_wait.3.html"><code>nng_aio_wait()</code></a>.
In that case, it is permissible for <em>callb</em> and <em>arg</em> to both be <code>NULL</code>.
Note that if these are <code>NULL</code>, then it will not be possible to determine when the
operation is complete except by calling the aforementioned
<a href="nng_aio_wait.3.html"><code>nng_aio_wait()</code></a>.</p>
