+.TH io_uring_register_napi 3 "November 16, 2022" "liburing-2.4" "liburing Manual"
+.SH NAME
+io_uring_register_napi \- register NAPI busy poll settings
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <liburing.h>
+.PP
+.BI "int io_uring_register_napi(struct io_uring *" ring ","
+.BI "                           struct io_uring_napi *" napi)
+.PP
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The
+.BR io_uring_register_napi (3)
+function registers the NAPI settings for subsequent operations. The NAPI
+settings are specified in the structure that is passed in the
+.I napi
+parameter. The structure consists of the napi timeout
+.I busy_poll_to
+(napi busy poll timeout in us) and
+.I prefer_busy_poll.
+
+Registering a NAPI settings sets the mode when calling the function
+napi_busy_loop and corresponds to the SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL socket
+option.
+
+NAPI busy poll can reduce the network roundtrip time.
+
+
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success
+.BR io_uring_register_napi_prefer_busy_poll (3)
+return 0. On failure they return
+.BR -errno .
+It also updates the napi structure with the current values.
