19 The io_uring_prep_connect(3) function prepares a connect request. The
20 submission queue entry sqe is setup to use the file descriptor sockfd
21 to start connecting to the destination described by the socket address
22 at addr and of structure length addrlen.

24 This function prepares an async connect(2) request. See that man page
25 for details.

32 The CQE res field will contain the result of the operation. See the re‐
33 lated man page for details on possible values. Note that where synchro‐
34 nous system calls will return -1 on failure and set errno to the actual
35 error value, io_uring never uses errno. Instead it returns the negated
36 errno directly in the CQE res field.

39 As with any request that passes in data in a struct, that data must re‐
40 main valid until the request has been successfully submitted. It need
41 not remain valid until completion. Once a request has been submitted,
42 the in-kernel state is stable. Very early kernels (5.4 and earlier) re‐
43 quired state to be stable until the completion occurred. Applications
44 can test for this behavior by inspecting the IORING_FEAT_SUBMIT_STABLE
45 flag passed back from io_uring_queue_init_params(3).
