Using aioread

The aioread(3AIO) routine is the asynchronous version of read(2). In addition to the normal read arguments, aioread(3AIO) takes the arguments that specify a file position and the address of an aio_result_t structure. The resulting information about the operation is stored in the aio_result_t structure. The file position specifies a seek to be performed within the file before the operation. Whether the aioread(3AIO) call succeeds or fails, the file pointer is updated.
