SYNOPSIS

11        typedef struct {
12          int (*callback) (void *user_data, const void *subbuf,
13                           size_t count, uint64_t offset,
14                           unsigned status, int *error);
15          void *user_data;

20          int (*callback) (void *user_data, int *error);
21          void *user_data;
22          void (*free) (void *user_data);
23        } nbd_completion_callback;
24
25        int64_t nbd_aio_pread_structured (
26                  struct nbd_handle *h, void *buf, size_t count,
27                  uint64_t offset,
28                  nbd_chunk_callback chunk_callback,
29                  nbd_completion_callback completion_callback,
30                  uint32_t flags
31                );

DESCRIPTION

34       Issue a read command to the NBD server.
35
36       To check if the command completed, call nbd_aio_command_completed(3).
37       Or supply the optional "completion_callback" which will be invoked as
38       described in "Completion callbacks" in libnbd(3).
39
40       Note that you must ensure "buf" is valid until the command has
41       completed.  Furthermore, if the "error" parameter to
42       "completion_callback" is set or if nbd_aio_command_completed(3) reports
43       failure, and if nbd_get_pread_initialize(3) returns true, then libnbd
44       sanitized "buf", but it is unspecified whether the contents of "buf"
45       will read as zero or as partial results from the server.  If
46       nbd_get_pread_initialize(3) returns false, then libnbd did not sanitize
47       "buf", and the contents are undefined on failure.
48
49       Other parameters behave as documented in nbd_pread_structured(3).
50
51       By default, libnbd will reject attempts to use this function with
52       parameters that are likely to result in server failure, such as
53       requesting an unknown command flag.  The nbd_set_strict_mode(3)
54       function can be used to alter which scenarios should await a server
55       reply rather than failing fast.
56

RETURN VALUE

58       This call returns the 64 bit cookie of the command.  The cookie is ≥ 1.
59       Cookies are unique (per libnbd handle, not globally).
60

ERRORS

62       On error -1 is returned.
63
64       Refer to "ERROR HANDLING" in libnbd(3) for how to get further details
65       of the error.
66
67       The following parameters must not be NULL: "h", "buf".  For more
68       information see "Non-NULL parameters" in libnbd(3).
69

HANDLE STATE

71       The handle must be connected with the server, otherwise this call will
72       return an error.
73

VERSION

75       This function first appeared in libnbd 1.0.
76
77       If you need to test if this function is available at compile time check
78       if the following macro is defined:
79
80        #define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_AIO_PREAD_STRUCTURED 1
