NAME top
io_uring_prep_ftruncate - prepare an ftruncate request
SYNOPSIS top
**#include <liburing.h>**
**void io_uring_prep_ftruncate(struct io_uring_sqe ***_sqe_**,**
**int** _fd_**,**
**loff_t** _len_**);**
DESCRIPTION top
The [io_uring_prep_ftruncate(3)](../man3/io%5Furing%5Fprep%5Fftruncate.3.html) function prepares an ftruncate
request. The submission queue entry _sqe_ is setup to use the file
descriptor _fd_ that should get truncated to the length indicated by
the _len_ argument.
Applications must define **_GNU_SOURCE** to obtain the definition of
this helper, as _lofft_ will not be defined without it.
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](../man3/errno.3.html)_ to the actual error value, io_uring never uses _[errno](../man3/errno.3.html)_.
Instead it returns the negated _[errno](../man3/errno.3.html)_ directly in the CQE _res_
field.
