io_uring_prep_writev2(3) liburing Manual io_uring_prep_writev2(3)
io_uring_prep_writev2 - prepare vector I/O write request with
flags
#include <sys/uio.h>
#include <liburing.h>
void io_uring_prep_writev2(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
int fd,
const struct iovec *iovecs,
unsigned nr_vecs,
__u64 offset,
int flags);
The io_uring_prep_writev2(3) prepares a vectored IO write request.
The submission queue entry sqe is setup to use the file descriptor
fd to start writing nr_vecs from the iovecs array at the specified
offset. The behavior of the function can be controlled with the
flags parameter.
Supported values for flags are:
RWF_HIPRI
High priority request, poll if possible
RWF_DSYNC
per-IO O_DSYNC
RWF_SYNC
per-IO O_SYNC
RWF_NOWAIT
per-IO, return -EAGAIN if operation would block
RWF_APPEND
per-IO O_APPEND
On files that support seeking, if the offset is set to -1, the
write operation commences at the file offset, and the file offset
is incremented by the number of bytes written. See write(2) for
more details. Note that for an async API, reading and updating the
current file offset may result in unpredictable behavior, unless
access to the file is serialized. It is not encouraged to use this
feature if it's possible to provide the desired IO offset from the
application or library.
On files that are not capable of seeking, the offset must be 0 or
-1.
After the write has been prepared, it can be submitted with one of
the submit functions.
None
The CQE res field will contain the result of the operation. See
the related man page for details on possible values. Note that
where synchronous system calls will return -1 on failure and set
errno to the actual error value, io_uring never uses errno.
Instead it returns the negated errno directly in the CQE res
field.
Unless an application explicitly needs to pass in more than one
iovec, it is more efficient to use io_uring_prep_write(3) rather
than this function, as no state has to be maintained for a non-
vectored IO request. As with any request that passes in data in a
struct, that data must remain valid until the request has been
successfully submitted. It need not remain valid until completion.
Once a request has been submitted, the in-kernel state is stable.
Very early kernels (5.4 and earlier) required state to be stable
until the completion occurred. Applications can test for this
behavior by inspecting the IORING_FEAT_SUBMIT_STABLE flag passed
back from io_uring_queue_init_params(3).
