NAME

6       nbd_can_fua - does the server support the FUA flag?
7

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

16       Returns true if the server supports the FUA flag on certain commands
17       (see nbd_pwrite(3)).
18
19       This call does not block, because it returns data that is saved in the
20       handle from the NBD protocol handshake.
21

RETURN VALUE

23       This call returns a boolean value.
24

ERRORS

26       On error -1 is returned.
27
28       Refer to "ERROR HANDLING" in libnbd(3) for how to get further details
29       of the error.
30
31       The following parameters must not be NULL: "h".  For more information
32       see "Non-NULL parameters" in libnbd(3).
33

HANDLE STATE

35       The handle must be negotiating, or connected with the server, or shut
36       down, otherwise this call will return an error.
37

VERSION

39       This function first appeared in libnbd 1.0.
40
41       If you need to test if this function is available at compile time check
42       if the following macro is defined:
43
44        #define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_CAN_FUA 1
45

EXAMPLE

47       This example is also available as examples/server-flags.c in the libnbd
48       source code.

50        /* This example shows how to connect to an NBD
51         * server and print the export flags.
52         *
53         * You can test it with nbdkit like this:

55         * nbdkit -U - memory 1M \
56         *   --run './server-flags $unixsocket'
