+.TH io_uring_prep_listen 3 "Jun 3, 2024" "liburing-2.7" "liburing Manual"
+.SH NAME
+io_uring_prep_listen \- prepare a listen request
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <sys/socket.h>
+.B #include <liburing.h>
+.PP
+.BI "void io_uring_prep_listen(struct io_uring_sqe *" sqe ","
+.BI "                          int " sockfd ","
+.BI "                          int" backlog ");"
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR io_uring_prep_listen (3)
+function prepares a listen request. The submission queue entry
+.I sqe
+is setup to place the socket file descriptor pointed by
+.IR sockfd
+into a state to accept incoming connections.  The parameter
+.IR backlog ,
+defines the maximum length of the queue of pending connections.
+
+This function prepares an async
+.BR listen (2)
+request. See that man page for details.
+
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+None
+.SH ERRORS
+The CQE
+.I 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
+.B -1
+on failure and set
+.I errno
+to the actual error value, io_uring never uses
+.IR errno .
+Instead it returns the negated
+.I errno
+directly in the CQE
+.I res
+field.
