io_uring_wait_cqe(3) liburing Manualio_uring_wait_cqe(3)io_uring_wait_cqe - wait for one io_uring completion event
#include <liburing.h>int io_uring_wait_cqe(struct io_uring *ring,struct io_uring_cqe **cqe_ptr);
Theio_uring_wait_cqe(3) function waits for an IO completion from the queue belonging to thering param, waiting for it if necessary. If an event is already available in the ring when invoked, no waiting will occur. Thecqe_ptr param is filled in on success. After the caller has submitted a request withio_uring_submit(3), the application can retrieve the completion withio_uring_wait_cqe(3).
On successio_uring_wait_cqe(3) returns 0 and the cqe_ptr param is filled in. On failure it returns-errno. The return value indicates the result of waiting for a CQE, and it has no relation to the CQE result itself.
