.SH DESCRIPTION
.IR io_prep_pread 
is an inline convenience function designed to facilitate the initialization of
the iocb for an asynchronous read operation.

The first
.TP
.IR "iocb->u.c.nbytes = count"
bytes of the file for which
.TP
.IR "iocb->aio_fildes = fd"
is a descriptor are written to the buffer
starting at
.TP
.IR "iocb->u.c.buf = buf"
.
.br
Reading starts at the absolute position
.TP
.IR "ioc->u.c.offset = offset"
in the file.
.PP
This function returns immediately . To schedule the operation, the
function 
.IR io_submit
must be called.
.PP
Simultaneous asynchronous operations using the same iocb produce
undefined results.
