nbd_aio_pwrite - write to the NBD server
#include <libnbd.h>
typedef struct {
int (*callback) (void *user_data, int *error);
void *user_data;
void (*free) (void *user_data);
} nbd_completion_callback;
int64_t nbd_aio_pwrite (
struct nbd_handle *h, const void *buf,
size_t count, uint64_t offset,
nbd_completion_callback completion_callback,
uint32_t flags
);Issue a write command to the NBD server.
To check if the command completed, call nbd_aio_command_completed(3). Or supply the optional completion_callback which will be invoked as described in "Completion callbacks" in libnbd(3).
Note that you must ensure buf is valid until the command has completed. Other parameters behave as documented in nbd_pwrite(3).
By default, libnbd will reject attempts to use this function with parameters that are likely to result in server failure, such as requesting an unknown command flag. The nbd_set_strict_mode(3) function can be used to alter which scenarios should await a server reply rather than failing fast.
This call returns the 64 bit cookie of the command. The cookie is ≥ 1. Cookies are unique (per libnbd handle, not globally).
On error -1 is returned.
Refer to "ERROR HANDLING" in libnbd(3) for how to get further details of the error.
The following parameters must not be NULL: h, buf. For more information see "Non-NULL parameters" in libnbd(3).
nbd_aio_pwrite can be called when the handle is in the following state:
┌─────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────┐
│ Handle created, before connecting │ ❌ error │
│ Connecting │ ❌ error │
│ Connecting & handshaking (opt_mode) │ ❌ error │
│ Connected to the server │ ✅ allowed │
│ Connection shut down │ ❌ error │
│ Handle dead │ ❌ error │
└─────────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────┘This function first appeared in libnbd 1.0.
If you need to test if this function is available at compile time check if the following macro is defined:
#define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_AIO_PWRITE 1nbd_aio_command_completed(3), nbd_create(3), nbd_is_read_only(3), nbd_pwrite(3), nbd_set_strict_mode(3), "Issuing asynchronous commands" in libnbd(3), libnbd(3).
