io_uring_submit_and_wait(3)

NAME
io_uring_submit_and_wait - submit requests to the submission queue and wait for completion

SYNOPSIS
#include <liburing.h>

int io_uring_submit_and_wait(struct io_uring *ring,
                             unsigned wait_nr);

DESCRIPTION

The io_uring_submit_and_wait(3) function submits the next requests from the submission queue belonging to the ring and waits for wait_nr completion events. After the caller retrieves a submission queue entry (SQE) with io_uring_get_sqe(3) and prepares the SQE, it can be submitted with io_uring_submit_and_wait(3). Ideally used with a ring setup with IORING_SETUP_SINGLE_ISSUER|IORING_SETUP_DEFER_TASKRUN as that will greatly reduce the number of context switches that an application will see waiting on multiple requests.

RETURN VALUE
On success io_uring_submit_and_wait(3) returns the number of submitted submission queue entries. On failure it returns -errno.
