.SH NAME
io_uring_cqe_seen \- mark io_uring completion event as consumed
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <liburing.h>
.PP
.BI "void io_uring_cqe_seen(struct io_uring *" ring ","
.BI "                       struct io_uring_cqe *" cqe ");"
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The
.BR io_uring_cqe_seen (3)
function marks the IO completion
.I cqe
belonging to the
.I ring
param as consumed.

After the caller has submitted a request with
.BR io_uring_submit (3),
the application can retrieve the completion with
.BR io_uring_wait_cqe (3),
.BR io_uring_peek_cqe (3),
or any of the other CQE retrieval helpers, and mark it as consumed with
.BR io_uring_cqe_seen (3).

Completions must be marked as completed so their slot can get reused.
.SH RETURN VALUE
None
