NAME

6       nbd_can_trim - does the server support the trim command?
7

SYNOPSIS

9        #include <libnbd.h>
10
11        int nbd_can_trim (struct nbd_handle *h);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Returns true if the server supports the trim command (see nbd_trim(3),
15       nbd_aio_trim(3)).  Returns false if the server does not.
16
17       This call does not block, because it returns data that is saved in the
18       handle from the NBD protocol handshake.
19

RETURN VALUE

21       This call returns a boolean value.
22

ERRORS

24       On error "-1" is returned.
25
26       Refer to "ERROR HANDLING" in libnbd(3) for how to get further details
27       of the error.
28

HANDLE STATE

30       The handle must be connected and finished handshaking with the server,
31       or shut down, otherwise this call will return an error.
32

VERSION

34       This function first appeared in libnbd 1.0.
35
36       If you need to test if this function is available at compile time check
37       if the following macro is defined:
38
39        #define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_CAN_TRIM 1
40

EXAMPLE

42       This example is also available as examples/server-flags.c in the libnbd
43       source code.
44
45        /* This example shows how to connect to an NBD
46         * server and print the export flags.
47         *
48         * You can test it with nbdkit like this:
49         *
50         * nbdkit -U - memory 1M \
51         *   --run './server-flags $unixsocket'
