== NAME

nng_aio_stop - stop asynchronous I/O operation

== SYNOPSIS

[source, c]
----
#include <nng/nng.h>

void nng_aio_stop(nng_aio *aio);
----

== DESCRIPTION

The `nng_aio_stop()` function stops the asynchronous I/O operation
associated with _aio_ by aborting with `NNG_ECANCELED`, and then waits
for it to complete or to be completely aborted.

If an operation is in progress when this function is called, that operation
is canceled and the callback function is _not_ allowed to run.

If the callback function is already running when this function is called,
then it is allowed to complete before returning to the caller.

No new operations will be started on this _aio_.

NOTE: Calling this function means that the operation may be aborted without
completing its callback function.

TIP: When multiple asynchronous I/O handles are in use and need to be
shut down, it is safest to stop all of them, before deallocating any of
this with xref:nng_aio_free.3.adoc[`nng_aio_free()`], particularly if the callbacks
might attempt to reschedule additional operations.

== RETURN VALUES

None.

== ERRORS

None.
