.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR io_uring_prep_statx (3)
|
|
function prepares a statx request. The submission queue entry
|
|
.I sqe
|
|
is setup to use the directory file descriptor pointed to by
|
|
.I dirfd
|
|
to start a statx operation on the path identified by
|
|
.I path
|
|
and using the flags given in
|
|
.I flags
|
|
for the fields specified by
|
|
.I mask
|
|
and into the buffer located at
|
|
.IR statxbuf .
|
|
|
|
This function prepares an async
|
|
.BR statx (2)
|
|
request. See that man page for details.
|
|
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
None
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
The CQE
|
|
.I 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
|
|
.B -1
|
|
on failure and set
|
|
.I errno
|
|
to the actual error value, io_uring never uses
|
|
.IR errno .
|
|
Instead it returns the negated
|
|
.I errno
|
|
directly in the CQE
|
|
.I res
|
|
field.
|
|
.SH 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
|
|
.B IORING_FEAT_SUBMIT_STABLE
|
|
flag passed back from
|
|
.BR io_uring_queue_init_params (3).
