NAME

6       nbd_aio_connect_unix - connect to the NBD server over a Unix domain
7       socket
8

SYNOPSIS

10        #include <libnbd.h>
11
12        int nbd_aio_connect_unix (struct nbd_handle *h,
13                                  const char *unixsocket);
14

DESCRIPTION

16       Begin connecting to the NBD server over Unix domain socket
17       ("unixsocket").  Parameters behave as documented in
18       nbd_connect_unix(3).
19
20       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

RETURN VALUE

26       If the call is successful the function returns 0.
27

ERRORS

29       On error "-1" is returned.
30
31       Refer to "ERROR HANDLING" in libnbd(3) for how to get further details
32       of the error.
33
34       The following parameters must not be NULL: "h", "unixsocket".  For more
35       information see "Non-NULL parameters" in libnbd(3).
36

HANDLE STATE

38       The handle must be newly created, otherwise this call will return an
39       error.
40

VERSION

42       This function first appeared in libnbd 1.0.
43
44       If you need to test if this function is available at compile time check
45       if the following macro is defined:
46
47        #define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_AIO_CONNECT_UNIX 1

EXAMPLE

50       This example is also available as examples/aio-connect-read.c in the
51       libnbd source code.

53        /* This example shows how to use the AIO (asynchronous) low
54         * level API to connect to a server and read the disk.
55         *
56         * Here are a few ways to try this example:
57         *
58         * nbdkit -U - linuxdisk . \
59         *   --run './aio-connect-read $unixsocket'
60         *
61         * nbdkit -U - floppy . \
62         *   --run './aio-connect-read $unixsocket'
63         *
64         * nbdkit -U - pattern size=1M \
65         *   --run './aio-connect-read $unixsocket'
