nbd_aio_opt_list_meta_context3

Usage

 #include <libnbd.h>
 typedef struct {
   int (*callback) (void *user_data, const char *name);
   void *user_data;
   void (*free) (void *user_data);
 } nbd_context_callback;
 typedef struct {
   int (*callback) (void *user_data, int *error);
   void *user_data;
   void (*free) (void *user_data);
 } nbd_completion_callback;
 int nbd_aio_opt_list_meta_context (
       struct nbd_handle *h,
       nbd_context_callback context_callback,
       nbd_completion_callback completion_callback
     );

Overview

Request that the server list available meta contexts associated with the export previously specified by the most recent nbd_set_export_name(3) or nbd_connect_uri(3), and with a list of queries from prior calls to nbd_add_meta_context(3) (see nbd_aio_opt_list_meta_context_queries(3) if you want to supply an explicit query list instead). This can only be used if nbd_set_opt_mode(3) enabled option mode.

To determine when the request completes, wait for nbd_aio_is_connecting(3) to return false. Or supply the optional "completion_callback" which will be invoked as described in "Completion callbacks" in libnbd(3), except that it is automatically retired regardless of return value. Note that detecting whether the server returns an error (as is done by the return value of the synchronous counterpart) is only possible with a completion callback.

Return value

This call returns an integer ≥ 0.

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

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