.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Returns true if the fence was already signaled, false if not\&. Since this function doesn\*(Aqt enable signaling, it is not guaranteed to ever return true if fence_add_callback, fence_wait or fence_enable_sw_signaling haven\*(Aqt been called before\&.
.PP
It\*(Aqs recommended for seqno fences to call fence_signal when the operation is complete, it makes it possible to prevent issues from wraparound between time of issue and time of use by checking the return value of this function before calling hardware\-specific wait instructions\&.
