io_uring_prep_fadvise(3)     liburing Manual     io_uring_prep_fadvise(3)
       io_uring_prep_fadvise - prepare a fadvise request
       #include <fcntl.h>
       #include <liburing.h>
       void io_uring_prep_fadvise(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
                                  int fd,
                                  __u64 offset,
                                  __u32 len,
                                  int advice);
       void io_uring_prep_fadvise64(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe,
                                    int fd,
                                    __u64 offset,
                                    off_t len,
                                    int advice);
       The io_uring_prep_fadvise(3) function prepares an fadvise request.
       The submission queue entry sqe is setup to use the file descriptor
       pointed to by fd to start an fadvise operation at offset and of
       len length in bytes, giving it the advise located in advice.
       The io_uring_prep_fadvise64(3) function works like
       io_uring_prep_fadvise(3) except that it takes a 64-bit length
       rather than just a 32-bit one. Older kernels may not support the
       64-bit length variant. If this variant is attempted used on a
       kernel that doesn't support 64-bit lengths, then the request will
       get errored with -EINVAL in the results field of the CQE.
       This function prepares an async posix_fadvise(2) request. See that
       man page for details.
       None
       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.
