23 The io_uring_prep_symlinkat(3) function prepares a symlinkat request.
24 The submission queue entry sqe is setup to symlink the target path
25 pointed to by target to the new destination indicated by newdirfd and
26 linkpath.

28 The io_uring_prep_symlink(3) function prepares a symlink request. The
29 submission queue entry sqe is setup to symlink the target path pointed
30 to by target to the new destination indicated by linkpath relative to
31 the the current working directory. This function prepares an async sym‐
32 link(2) request. See that man page for details.

34 These functions prepare an async symlinkat(2) or symlink(2) request.
35 See those man pages for details.

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

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