.TH io_uring_prep_write 3 "November 15, 2021" "liburing-2.1" "liburing Manual"
.SH NAME
io_uring_prep_write \- prepare I/O write request
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <liburing.h>
.PP
.BI "void io_uring_prep_write(struct io_uring_sqe *" sqe ","
.BI "                         int " fd ","
.BI "                         const void *" buf ","
.BI "                         unsigned " nbytes ","
.BI "                         __u64 " offset ");"
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The
.BR io_uring_prep_write (3)
prepares an IO write request. The submission queue entry
.I sqe
is setup to use the file descriptor
.I fd
to start writing
.I nbytes
from the buffer
.I buf
at the specified
.IR offset .

On files that support seeking, if the offset is set to
.BR -1 ,
the write operation commences at the file offset, and the file offset is
incremented by the number of bytes written. See
.BR write (2)
for more details. Note that for an async API, reading and updating the
current file offset may result in unpredictable behavior, unless access
to the file is serialized. It is not encouraged to use this feature if it's
possible to provide the desired IO offset from the application or library.

On files that are not capable of seeking, the offset must be 0 or -1.

After the write has been prepared, it can be submitted with one of the submit
functions.

.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.
