Subject: Support for random access file reads
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2020 10:51:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMkGPyK=9bztK-2Ckg-2pOUhxugzXO=0-KGH4NL6+KQFnq7vBg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello folks,

I am new to io-uring and would like to read bytes from a specific
position in a file. I was looking for some kind of pread/preadv
functionality in io-uring but couldn't see any.

Perhaps the expectation that the file descriptor offset is explicitly
set via lseek outside of io-uring, to enable random file access use
cases like mine?

Thanks
