NAME         top

       io_uring_register_file_alloc_range - set range for fixed file
       allocations

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <liburing.h>

       int io_uring_register_file_alloc_range(struct io_uring *ring,
                                              unsigned off,
                                              unsigned len);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The io_uring_register_file_alloc_range(3) function sets the
       allowable range for fixed file index allocations within the
       kernel. When requests that can instantiate a new fixed file are
       used with IORING_FILE_INDEX_ALLOC , the application is asking the
       kernel to allocate a new fixed file descriptor rather than pass
       in a specific value for one. By default, the kernel will pick any
       available fixed file descriptor within the range available.
       Calling this function with off set to the starting offset and len
       set to the number of descriptors, the application can limit the
       allocated descriptors to that particular range. This effectively
       allows the application to set aside a range just for dynamic
       allocations, with the remainder being used for specific values.

       The application must have registered a fixed file table upfront,
       eg through io_uring_register_files(3) or
       io_uring_register_files_sparse(3).

       Available since 6.0.

RETURN VALUE         top

       On success io_uring_register_buf_ring(3) returns 0. On failure it
       returns -errno.
