pub unsafe fn io_uring_prep_writev_fixed(
    sqe: *mut io_uring_sqe,
    fd: c_int,

Prepare a vectored write using fixed buffers

DESCRIPTION

The io_uring_prep_writev_fixed function prepares a vectored write request using fixed (registered) buffers. The submission queue entry sqe is setup to use the file descriptor fd to start writing nr_vecs iovecs from the file position offset.

The iovecs argument points to an array of iovec structures describing the write buffers. All buffers must be part of the registered buffer set at index buf_index, previously registered with io_uring_register_buffers.

The flags argument can contain any per-request flags, such as RWF_APPEND or other flags supported by pwritev2.

Using fixed buffers avoids the overhead of mapping buffers for each I/O operation, improving performance for applications that reuse the same buffers.

RETURN VALUE

None

ERRORS

The CQE res field will contain the result of the operation, the number of bytes written on success. On error, a negative errno value is returned.

NOTES

Despite accepting an array of iovec’s with a size_t number of bytes each, this function can transfer at most INT_MAX bytes per call (the maximum for the underlying syscall interface).
