iom_abort(3)

💖 iom_abort(3) 💖

okay so bestie, you're in the Library Functions Manual section, and this little cutie is called iom_abort. she's giving ✨main character✨ energy for your event loop, fr fr.

🌸 NAME 🌸

iom_abort — abort all pending iom_wait calls

like. ALL of them. no cap. 💅

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

#include <libowfat/io.h>

int iom_abort(iomux_t* c);

one function, one pointer, no drama. the c is your iomux_t* and she is NOT optional, periodt. 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea, bestie: iom_abort will cause all currently running instances of iom_wait to return immediately with return value -2.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. every single iom_wait that's currently hanging out, waiting, being patient, doing its little wait thing — iom_abort walks in and is like "girls, we're LEAVING" and they all come back with -2. iconic behaviour honestly. 🔥

so if you've got stuff blocked in iom_wait and you need them to just. stop. waiting. right now — this is your girl. 👑

🌈 LINKING 🌈

heads up bestie, you may have to add -lpthread to the command line in the linking step. don't skip this, i'm literally begging you, the linker will be so mad at you and it's such an avoidable situation. 😭

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

• iom_abort returns 0 on success 💖
• and -1 on error, setting errno

so like, check your errno if you get the -1, okay? she's telling you something. don't ignore her. 🙈

🫶 SEE ALSO 🫶

• iom_init
• iom_add
• iom_wait

the whole friend group honestly. go read them too, they're all slaying in their own ways. 🧚

okay bye bestie, this was iom_abort(3) from the Library Functions Manual — that's the source and version vibe right there, and she's dated as ever (manpages don't age, they just get more iconic 💀). love you, go write some non-blocking code, mwah. 🎀💜✨
