1nbd_aio_connect_unix(3) LIBNBD nbd_aio_connect_unix(3)

6 nbd_aio_connect_unix - connect to the NBD server over a Unix domain
7 socket
8
10 #include <libnbd.h>
11 int nbd_aio_connect_unix (struct nbd_handle *h,
13 const char *unixsocket);
14
16 Begin connecting to the NBD server over Unix domain socket
17 ("unixsocket"). Parameters behave as documented in
18 nbd_connect_unix(3).
19 You can check if the connection is still connecting by calling
21 nbd_aio_is_connecting(3), or if it has connected to the server and
22 completed the NBD handshake by calling nbd_aio_is_ready(3), on the
23 connection.
24
26 If the call is successful the function returns 0.
27
29 On error "-1" is returned.
30 Refer to "ERROR HANDLING" in libnbd(3) for how to get further details
32 of the error.
33
35 The handle must be newly created, otherwise this call will return an
36 error.
37
39 This function first appeared in libnbd 1.0.
40 If you need to test if this function is available at compile time check
42 if the following macro is defined:
43 #define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_AIO_CONNECT_UNIX 1
45
47 This example is also available as examples/aio-connect-read.c in the
48 libnbd source code.
49 /* This example shows how to use the AIO (asynchronous) low
51 * level API to connect to a server and read the disk.
52 *
53 * Here are a few ways to try this example:
54 *
55 * nbdkit -U - linuxdisk . \
56 * --run './aio-connect-read $unixsocket'
57 *
58 * nbdkit -U - floppy . \
59 * --run './aio-connect-read $unixsocket'
60 *
61 * nbdkit -U - pattern size=1M \
62 * --run './aio-connect-read $unixsocket'
