.SH NAME
io_uring_submit_and_wait_reg \- Sets up and registers fixed wait regions
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <liburing.h>
.PP
.BI "int io_uring_submit_and_wait_reg(struct io_uring *" ring ","
.BI " struct io_uring_cqe **"cqe_ptr ","
.BI " unsigned "wait_nr ","
.BI " int "reg_index ");"
.PP
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The
.BR io_uring_submit_and_wait_reg (3)
submits previously prepared requests in the ring
.IR ring
and waits for
.IR wait_nr
completions using the registered wait index of
.IR reg_index .
Upon successful return, the completion events are stored in the
.IR cqe_ptr
array.
This function works like
.BR io_uring_submit_and_wait_min_timeout (3)
in that it supports all the features of that helper, but rather than pass in
all the information in a struct that needs copying, it references a registered
wait index for which previously registered wait region holds information
about how the wait should be performed. That includes information such as
the overall timeout, the minimum timeout to be used, and so forth. See
.BR io_uring_setup_register_region (3)
for the details on registered regions, specifically for registered wait
regions.
Using registered wait regions has less overhead then other wait methods, as
no copying of data is needed.
It's valid to use this function purely for waiting on events, even if no
new requests should be submitted.
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success
.BR io_uring_submit_and_wait_reg (3)
returns the number of new requests submitted. On failure it returns
.BR -errno .
If the kernel doesn't support this functionality,
.BR -EINVAL
will be returned. If no events are submitted and the wait operation times
out, then
.BR -ETIME
will be returned.
