+.TH io_uring_cq_advance 3 "January 25, 2022" "liburing-2.1" "liburing Manual"
+.SH NAME
+io_uring_cq_advance \- mark one or more io_uring completion events as consumed
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <liburing.h>
+.PP
+.BI "void io_uring_cq_advance(struct io_uring *" ring ","
+.BI " unsigned " nr ");"
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The
+.BR io_uring_cq_advance (3)
+function marks
+.I nr
+IO completions belonging to the
+.I ring
+param as consumed.
+
+After the caller has submitted a request with
+.BR io_uring_submit (3),
+the application can retrieve the completion with
+.BR io_uring_wait_cqe (3),
+.BR io_uring_peek_cqe (3),
+or any of the other CQE retrieval helpers, and mark it as consumed with
+.BR io_uring_cqe_seen (3).
+
+The function
+.BR io_uring_cqe_seen (3)
+calls the function
+.BR io_uring_cq_advance (3).
+
+Completions must be marked as seen, so their slot can get reused. Failure to do
+so will result in the same completion being returned on the next invocation.
+
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+None
