.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The
.BR io_uring_prep_cmd_sock (3)
function prepares an cmd request for a socket. The submission queue entry
.I sqe
is setup to use the socket file descriptor pointed to by
.I fd
to start an command operation defined by
.I cmd_op.

This is a generic function, and each command has their own individual
.I level, optname, optval
values.  The optlen defines the size pointed by
.I optval.
