.SH DESCRIPTION
Attempts to read  up to nr events from
the completion queue for the aio_context specified by ctx.  
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
May return
0 if no events are available and the timeout specified
by when has elapsed, where when == NULL specifies an infinite
timeout.  Note that the timeout pointed to by when is relative and
will be updated if not NULL and the operation blocks.  Will fail
with ENOSYS if not implemented.
.SH ERRORS
.TP
.B EINVAL 
if ctx_id is invalid, if min_nr is out of range,
if nr is out of range, if when is out of range.  
.TP
.B EFAULT 
if any of the memory specified to is invalid.
