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).
