| .SH NAME |
| io_uring_prep_fallocate \- prepare a fallocate request |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .nf |
| .B #include <fcntl.h> |
| .B #include <liburing.h> |
| .PP |
| .BI "void io_uring_prep_fallocate(struct io_uring_sqe *" sqe "," |

| .BI " off_t " len ");" |

| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .PP |
| The |
| .BR io_uring_prep_fallocate (3) |
| function prepares a fallocate request. The submission queue entry |
| .I sqe |
| is setup to use the file descriptor pointed to by |
| .I fd |
| to start a fallocate operation described by |
| .I mode |
| at offset |
| .I offset |
| and |
| .I len |
| length in bytes. |
| |
| This function prepares an async |
| .BR fallocate (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. |
