NAME

6       nbd_aio_pwrite - write to the NBD server

SYNOPSIS

9        #include <libnbd.h>
10
11        typedef struct {
12          int (*callback) (void *user_data, int *error);
13          void *user_data;
14          void (*free) (void *user_data);
15        } nbd_completion_callback;
16
17        int64_t nbd_aio_pwrite (struct nbd_handle *h,
18                                const void *buf, size_t count,
19                                uint64_t offset,
20                                nbd_completion_callback completion_callback,
21                                uint32_t flags);
22

DESCRIPTION

24       Issue a write command to the NBD server.
25
26       To check if the command completed, call nbd_aio_command_completed(3).
27       Or supply the optional "completion_callback" which will be invoked as
28       described in "Completion callbacks" in libnbd(3).
29
30       Note that you must ensure "buf" is valid until the command has
31       completed.  Other parameters behave as documented in nbd_pwrite(3).
32
33       By default, libnbd will reject attempts to use this function with
34       parameters that are likely to result in server failure, such as
35       requesting an unknown command flag.  The nbd_set_strict_mode(3)
36       function can be used to alter which scenarios should await a server
37       reply rather than failing fast.
38

RETURN VALUE

40       This call returns the 64 bit cookie of the command.  The cookie is ≥ 1.
41       Cookies are unique (per libnbd handle, not globally).
42

ERRORS

44       On error "-1" is returned.
45
46       Refer to "ERROR HANDLING" in libnbd(3) for how to get further details
47       of the error.
48
49       The following parameters must not be NULL: "h", "buf".  For more
50       information see "Non-NULL parameters" in libnbd(3).
51

HANDLE STATE

53       The handle must be connected with the server, otherwise this call will
54       return an error.
55

VERSION

57       This function first appeared in libnbd 1.0.
58
59       If you need to test if this function is available at compile time check
60       if the following macro is defined:
61
62        #define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_AIO_PWRITE 1
