Asynchronous file i/o

[Soumitra Sengupta]

We are running 4.2 on VAX 780. I need appropriate C-code that will allow a 
process to issue a file read/write command and not get blocked (and thereby
rescheduled for a later time). 'fcntl' seemed the right way to try it, but
it seems that it works only for ttys. Is there another way to do the same?

Direct replies will be appreciated.
