NAME

6       nbd_get_nr_meta_contexts - return the current number of requested meta
7       contexts
8

SYNOPSIS

10        #include <libnbd.h>
11
12        ssize_t nbd_get_nr_meta_contexts (struct nbd_handle *h);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       During connection libnbd can negotiate zero or more metadata contexts
16       with the server.  Metadata contexts are features (such as
17       "base:allocation") which describe information returned by the
18       nbd_block_status(3) command (for "base:allocation" this is whether
19       blocks of data are allocated, zero or sparse).
20
21       This command returns how many meta contexts have been added to the list
22       to request from the server via nbd_add_meta_context(3).  The server is
23       not obligated to honor all of the requests; to see what it actually
24       supports, see nbd_can_meta_context(3).
