.SH NAME
ioctl_pipe \- ioctl() operations for General notification mechanism
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.BR "#include <linux/watch_queue.h>" " /* Definition of " IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_ "* */"
.B #include <sys/ioctl.h>
.PP
.BI "int ioctl(int " pipefd "[1], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_SIZE, int " size );

.SH DESCRIPTION
The following
.BR ioctl (2)
operations are provided to set up general notification queue parameters.
The notification queue is built on the top of a
.BR pipe (2)
opened with the
.B O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE
flag.
.TP
.BR IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_SIZE " (since Linux 5.8)"
.\" commit c73be61cede5882f9605a852414db559c0ebedfd
Preallocates the pipe buffer memory so that
it can fit
.I size
notification messages.
Currently,
.I size
must be between 1 and 512.
.TP
.BR IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_FILTER " (since Linux 5.8)"
.\" commit c73be61cede5882f9605a852414db559c0ebedfd
Watch queue filter can limit events that are received.
Filters are passed in a
.I struct watch_notification_filter
and each filter is described by a
.I struct watch_notification_type_filter
structure.
