+.TH io_uring_prep_close 3 "March 13, 2022" "liburing-2.2" "liburing Manual"
+.SH NAME
+io_uring_prep_close \- prepare a file descriptor close request
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <liburing.h>
+.PP
+.BI "void io_uring_prep_close(struct io_uring_sqe *" sqe ","
+.BI " int " fd ");"
+.PP
+.BI "void io_uring_prep_close_direct(struct io_uring_sqe *" sqe ","
+.BI " unsigned " file_index ");"
+.PP
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The
+.BR io_uring_prep_close (3)
+function prepares a close request. The submission queue entry
+.I sqe
+is setup to close the file descriptor indicated by
+.IR fd .
+
+For a direct descriptor close request, the offset is specified by the
+.I file_index
+argument instead of the
+.IR fd .
+This is identical to unregistering the direct descriptor, and is provided as
+a convenience.
+
+These functions prepare an async
+.BR close (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.
