io_uring_pr...ritev_fixed(3) liburing Manual io_uring_pr...ritev_fixed(3)
io_uring_prep_writev_fixed - prepare a vectored write using fixed
buffers
#include <liburing.h>
void io_uring_prep_writev_fixed(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
int fd,
const struct iovec *iovecs,
unsigned nr_vecs,
__u64 offset,
int flags,
int buf_index);
The io_uring_prep_writev_fixed(3) function prepares a vectored
write request using fixed (registered) buffers. The submission
queue entry sqe is setup to use the file descriptor fd to start
writing nr_vecs iovecs from the file position offset.
The iovecs argument points to an array of iovec structures
describing the write buffers. All buffers must be part of the
registered buffer set at index buf_index, previously registered
with io_uring_register_buffers(3).
The flags argument can contain any per-request flags, such as
RWF_APPEND or other flags supported by pwritev2(2).
Using fixed buffers avoids the overhead of mapping buffers for
each I/O operation, improving performance for applications that
reuse the same buffers.
None
The CQE res field will contain the result of the operation, the
number of bytes written on success. On error, a negative errno
value is returned.
Despite accepting an array of iovec's with a size_t number of
bytes each, this function can transfer at most INT_MAX bytes per
call (the maximum for the underlying syscall interface).
