NAME

6       nbd_set_full_info - control whether NBD_OPT_GO requests extra details
7

SYNOPSIS

9        #include <libnbd.h>
10
11        int nbd_set_full_info (struct nbd_handle *h, bool request);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       By default, when connecting to an export, libnbd only requests the
15       details it needs to service data operations.  The NBD protocol says
16       that a server can supply optional information, such as a canonical name
17       of the export (see nbd_get_canonical_export_name(3)) or a description
18       of the export (see nbd_get_export_description(3)), but that a hint from
19       the client makes it more likely for this extra information to be
20       provided.  This function controls whether libnbd will provide that
21       hint.
22
23       Note that even when full info is requested, the server is not obligated
24       to reply with all information that libnbd requested.  Similarly, libnbd
25       will ignore any optional server information that libnbd has not yet
26       been taught to recognize.  Furthermore, the hint to request block sizes
27       is independently controlled via nbd_set_request_block_size(3).
