io_uring_prep_writev(3) liburing Manual io_uring_prep_writev(3)
io_uring_prep_writev - prepare vector I/O write request
#include <sys/uio.h>
#include <liburing.h>
void io_uring_prep_writev(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
int fd,
const struct iovec *iovecs,
unsigned nr_vecs,
__u64 offset);
The io_uring_prep_writev(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.
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).
