NAME

6       nbd_aio_connect_command - connect to the NBD server
7

SYNOPSIS

9        #include <libnbd.h>
10
11        int nbd_aio_connect_command (
12              struct nbd_handle *h, char **argv
13            );
14

DESCRIPTION

16       Run the command as a subprocess and begin connecting to it over
17       stdin/stdout.  Parameters behave as documented in
18       nbd_connect_command(3).
19
20       You can check if the connection attempt is still underway by calling
21       nbd_aio_is_connecting(3).  If nbd_set_opt_mode(3) is enabled, the
22       connection is ready for manual option negotiation once
23       nbd_aio_is_negotiating(3) returns true; otherwise, the connection
24       attempt will include the NBD handshake, and is ready for use once
25       nbd_aio_is_ready(3) returns true.
26
