nbd_aio_block_status_643

Usage

 #include <libnbd.h>
 typedef struct {
   int (*callback) (void *user_data,
                    const char *metacontext,
                    uint64_t offset, nbd_extent *entries,
                    size_t nr_entries, int *error);
   void *user_data;
   void (*free) (void *user_data);
 } nbd_extent64_callback;
 typedef struct {
   int (*callback) (void *user_data, int *error);
   void *user_data;
   void (*free) (void *user_data);
 } nbd_completion_callback;
 int64_t nbd_aio_block_status_64 (
           struct nbd_handle *h, uint64_t count,
           uint64_t offset,
           nbd_extent64_callback extent64_callback,
           nbd_completion_callback completion_callback,
           uint32_t flags
         );

Overview

Send the block status command to the NBD server.

To check if the command completed, call nbd_aio_command_completed(3). Or supply the optional "completion_callback" which will be invoked as described in "Completion callbacks" in libnbd(3).

Other parameters behave as documented in nbd_block_status_64(3).

By default, libnbd will reject attempts to use this function with parameters that are likely to result in server failure, such as requesting an unknown command flag. The nbd_set_strict_mode(3) function can be used to alter which scenarios should await a server reply rather than failing fast.

Return value

This call returns the 64 bit cookie of the command. The cookie is ≥ 1. Cookies are unique (per libnbd handle, not globally).

Errors

On error -1 is returned.

Refer to "ERROR HANDLING" in libnbd(3) for how to get further details of the error.

The following parameters must not be NULL: "h". For more information see "Non-NULL parameters" in libnbd(3).

Handle state

nbd_aio_block_status_64 can be called when the handle is in the following state:

 ┌─────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────┐
 │ Handle created, before connecting   │ ❌ error                │
 │ Connecting                          │ ❌ error                │
 │ Connecting & handshaking (opt_mode) │ ❌ error                │
 │ Connected to the server             │ ✅ allowed              │
 │ Connection shut down                │ ❌ error                │
 │ Handle dead                         │ ❌ error                │
 └─────────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────┘

Version

This function first appeared in libnbd 1.18.

If you need to test if this function is available at compile time check if the following macro is defined:

 #define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_AIO_BLOCK_STATUS_64 1
