# nng_aio_cancel(3) Manual Page

## NAME

nng_aio_cancel - cancel asynchronous I/O operation

## SYNOPSIS

    #include <nng/nng.h>

    void nng_aio_cancel(nng_aio *aio);

## DESCRIPTION

The `nng_aio_cancel()` function aborts an operation previously started with the handle aio. If the operation is aborted, then the callback for the handle will be called, and the function `nng_aio_result()` will return the error `NNG_ECANCELED`.

This function does not wait for the operation to be fully aborted, but returns immediately.

If no operation is currently in progress (either because it has already finished, or no operation has been started yet), then this function has no effect.

| This function is the same as calling `nng_aio_abort()` with the error `NNG_ECANCELED`.

## RETURN VALUES

None.

## ERRORS

None.
