| .SH NAME |
| io_uring_prep_timeoute \- prepare a timeout request |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .nf |
| .B #include <liburing.h> |
| .PP |
| .BI "void io_uring_prep_timeout(struct io_uring_sqe *" sqe "," |
| .BI " struct __kernel_timespec *" ts "," |
| .BI " unsigned " count "," |
| .BI " unsigned " flags ");" |
| .fi |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .PP |
| The |
| .BR io_uring_prep_timeout (3) |
| function prepares a timeout request. The submission queue entry |
| .I sqe |
| is setup to arm a timeout specified by |
| .I ts |
| and with a timeout count of |
| .I count |
| completion entries. The |
| .I flags |
| argument holds modifier flags for the request. |
| |
| This request type can be used as a timeout waking anyone sleeping |
| for events on the CQ ring. The |
| .I flags |
| argument may contain: |
| .TP |
| .B IORING_TIMEOUT_ABS |
| The value specified in |
| .I ts |
| is an absolute value rather than a relative one. |
| .TP |
| .B IORING_TIMEOUT_BOOTTIME |
| The boottime clock source should be used. |
| .TP |
| .B IORING_TIMEOUT_REALTIME |
| The realtime clock source should be used. |
| .TP |
| .B IORING_TIMEOUT_ETIME_SUCCESS |
| Consider an expired timeout a success in terms of the posted completion. |
| Normally a timeout that triggers would return in a |
| .B -ETIME |
| CQE |
| .I res |
| value. |
| .PP |
| The timeout completion event will trigger if either the specified timeout |
| has occurred, or the specified number of events to wait for have been posted |
| to the CQ ring. |
| |
| .SH RETURN VALUE |
| None |
| .SH ERRORS |
| These are the errors that are reported in the CQE |
| .I res |
| field. On success, |
| .B 0 |
| is returned. |
| .TP |
| .B -ETIME |
| The specified timeout occurred and triggered the completion event. |
| .TP |
| .B -EINVAL |
| One of the fields set in the SQE was invalid. For example, two clocksources |
| where given, or the specified timeout seconds or nanoseconds where < 0. |
| .TP |
| .B -EFAULT |
| io_uring was unable to access the data specified by |
| .IR ts . |
| .TP |
| .B -ECANCELED |
| The timeout was canceled by a removal request. |
| .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). |
