pg_aios
#The pg_aios
view lists all Asynchronous I/O handles that are currently in-use. An I/O handle is used to reference an I/O operation that is being prepared, executed or is in the process of completing. pg_aios
contains one row for each I/O handle.
This view is mainly useful for developers of PostgreSQL, but may also be useful when tuning PostgreSQL.
