6 nbd_can_df - does the server support the don't fragment flag to pread?
7
9 #include <libnbd.h>
10
11 int nbd_can_df (struct nbd_handle *h);
12
14 Returns true if the server supports structured reads with an ability to
15 request a non-fragmented read (see nbd_pread_structured(3),
16 nbd_aio_pread_structured(3)). Returns false if the server either lacks
17 structured reads or if it does not support a non-fragmented read
18 request.
19
20 This call does not block, because it returns data that is saved in the
21 handle from the NBD protocol handshake.
22
24 This call returns a boolean value.
25
27 On error "-1" is returned.
28
29 Refer to "ERROR HANDLING" in libnbd(3) for how to get further details
30 of the error.
31
33 This function first appeared in libnbd 1.0.
34
35 If you need to test if this function is available at compile time check
36 if the following macro is defined:
37
38 #define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_CAN_DF 1
39
41 This example is also available as examples/server-flags.c in the libnbd
42 source code.

44 /* This example shows how to connect to an NBD
45 * server and print the export flags.
46 *
47 * You can test it with nbdkit like this:
48 *
49 * nbdkit -U - memory 1M \
50 * --run './server-flags $unixsocket'
