NAME         top

       io_uring_prep_epoll_ctl - prepare an epoll_ctl request

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <liburing.h>

       void io_uring_prep_epoll_ctl(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
                                    int epfd,
                                    int fd,
                                    int op,
                                    const struct epoll_event *ev);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The io_uring_prep_epoll_ctl(3) function prepares an epoll control
       request. The submission queue entry sqe is setup to use the epoll
       instance referred to by epfd, performing the operation op on the
       file descriptor fd.  The ev argument points to an epoll_event
       structure as defined in epoll_ctl(2).

       The op argument can be one of:

       EPOLL_CTL_ADD
              Add fd to the epoll instance.

       EPOLL_CTL_MOD
              Modify the settings for fd.

       EPOLL_CTL_DEL
              Remove fd from the epoll instance.  ev is ignored for this
              operation.

              This function prepares an async epoll_ctl(2) request. See
              that man page for details.

RETURN VALUE         top

       None

ERRORS         top

       The CQE res field will contain the result of the operation, 0 on
       success. On error, a negative errno value is returned. See
       epoll_ctl(2) for possible error values.
