NAME

       io_uring_prep_statx - prepare a statx request

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/stat.h>
       #include <unistd.h>
       #include <fcntl.h>
       #include <liburing.h>

       void io_uring_prep_statx(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
                                int dirfd,
                                const char *path,
                                int flags,
                                unsigned mask,
                                struct statx *statxbuf);

DESCRIPTION

       The io_uring_prep_statx(3) function prepares a statx request. The
       submission queue entry sqe is setup to use the directory file
       descriptor pointed to by dirfd to start a statx operation on the
       path identified by path and using the flags given in flags for
       the fields specified by mask and into the buffer located at
       statxbuf.

       This function prepares an async statx(2) request. See that man
       page for details.

RETURN VALUE

       None

ERRORS

       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.

NOTES

       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).
