.TH io_uring_prep_connect 3 "March 13, 2022" "liburing-2.2" "liburing Manual"
.SH NAME
io_uring_prep_connect \- prepare a connect request
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <sys/types.h>
.B #include <sys/socket.h>
.B #include <liburing.h>
.PP
.BI "void io_uring_prep_connect(struct io_uring_sqe *" sqe ","
.BI " int " sockfd ","
.BI " const struct sockaddr *" addr ","
.BI " socklen_t " addrlen ");"
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The
.BR io_uring_prep_connect (3)
function prepares a connect request. The submission queue entry
.I sqe
is setup to use the file descriptor
.I sockfd
to start connecting to the destination described by the socket address at
.I addr
and of structure length
.IR addrlen .
This function prepares an async
.BR connect (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).
