       io_uring_prep_renameat - prepare a renameat request

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <fcntl.h>
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <liburing.h>

       void io_uring_prep_renameat(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
                                   int olddirfd,
                                   const char *oldpath,
                                   int newdirfd,
                                   const char *newpath,
                                   unsigned int flags);

       void io_uring_prep_rename(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
                                 const char *oldpath,
                                 const char *newpath,
                                 unsigned int flags);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The io_uring_prep_renameat(3) function prepares a renameat
       request. The submission queue entry sqe is setup to use the old
       directory file descriptor pointed to by olddirfd and old path
       pointed to by oldpath with the new directory file descriptor
       pointed to by newdirfd and the new path pointed to by newpath and
       using the specified flags in flags.

       The io_uring_prep_rename(3) function prepares a rename request.
       The submission queue entry sqe is setup to use the old path
       pointed to by oldpath with the new path pointed to by newpath,
       both relative to the current working directory and using the
       specified flags in flags.

       These functions prepare an async renameat2(2) or rename(2)
       request. If flags is zero, then this call is similar to the
       renameat(2) system call. See those man pages for details.

RETURN VALUE         top

       None

ERRORS         top

       The CQE res field will contain the result of the operation. See
       the related man page for details on possible values. Note that
       where synchronous system calls will return -1 on failure and set
       errno to the actual error value, io_uring never uses errno.
       Instead it returns the negated errno directly in the CQE res
       field.

NOTES         top

       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 IORING_FEAT_SUBMIT_STABLE flag passed back from
       io_uring_queue_init_params(3).
