Arguments

async-io-state

An async-io-state.

buffer

A cl:base-string or an 8-bit cl:simple-array.

callback

A function designator for a function of 3 arguments.

start

A lower bounding index designator for buffer.

end

An upper bounding index designator for buffer.

timeout

nil or a positive real.

user-info

Values

None.

Description

The function async-io-state-write-buffer asynchronously writes the part of buffer buffer between indexes start and end to async-io-state. When this writing has succeeded or the state's async-io-state-write-timeout has passed, callback is called like this:

callback async-io-state buffer number-of-bytes-written

The default value of start is 0. The default value of end is the length of buffer.

If an error occurs during the I/O operation and error-callback is non-nil, then error-callback is called with these same arguments:

error-callback async-io-state buffer number-of-bytes-written

If error-callback is nil, then callback is called, so it should check for errors using async-io-state-write-status.

If the operation does not finish within the state's async-io-state-write-timeout period then the state's async-io-state-write-status is set to :timeout and callback is called.

If timeout or user-info are supplied then they set the state's async-io-state-write-timeout and async-io-state-user-info for this and subsequent operations.
