NAME

nbd_opt_go - end negotiation and move on to using an export

SYNOPSIS

 #include <libnbd.h>

 int nbd_opt_go (
       struct nbd_handle *h
     );

DESCRIPTION

Request that the server finish negotiation and move on to serving the export previously specified by the most recent nbd_set_export_name(3) or nbd_connect_uri(3). This can only be used if nbd_set_opt_mode(3) enabled option mode.

By default, libnbd will automatically request all meta contexts registered by nbd_add_meta_context(3) as part of this call; but this can be suppressed with nbd_set_request_meta_context(3), particularly if nbd_opt_set_meta_context(3) was used earlier in the negotiation sequence.

If this fails, the server may still be in negotiation, where it is possible to attempt another option such as a different export name; although older servers will instead have killed the connection.

RETURN VALUE

If the call is successful the function returns 0.

ERRORS

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. For more information see "Non-NULL parameters" in libnbd(3).

HANDLE STATE

nbd_opt_go can be called when the handle is in the following state:

 ┌─────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────┐
 │ Handle created, before connecting   │ ❌ error                │
 │ Connecting                          │ ❌ error                │
 │ Connecting & handshaking (opt_mode) │ ✅ allowed              │
 │ Connected to the server             │ ❌ error                │
 │ Connection shut down                │ ❌ error                │
 │ Handle dead                         │ ❌ error                │
 └─────────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────┘

VERSION

This function first appeared in libnbd 1.4.

If you need to test if this function is available at compile time check if the following macro is defined:

 #define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_OPT_GO 1

EXAMPLE

This example is also available as examples/list-exports.c in the libnbd source code.

 /* This example shows how to list NBD exports.
  *
  * To test this with qemu-nbd:
  *   $ qemu-nbd -x "hello" -t -k /tmp/sock disk.img
  *   $ ./run examples/list-exports /tmp/sock
  *   [0] hello
  *   Which export to connect to (-1 to quit)? 0
  *   Connecting to hello ...
  *   /tmp/sock: hello: size = 2048 bytes
  *
  * To test this with nbdkit (requires 1.22):
  *   $ nbdkit -U /tmp/sock sh - <<\EOF
  *   case $1 in
  *     list_exports) echo NAMES; echo foo; echo foobar ;;
  *     open) echo "$3" ;;
  *     get_size) echo "$2" | wc -c ;;
  *     pread) echo "$2" | dd bs=1 skip=$4 count=$3 ;;
  *     *) exit 2 ;;
  *   esac
  *   EOF
  *   $ ./run examples/list-exports /tmp/sock
  *   [0] foo
  *   [1] foobar
  *   Which export to connect to (-1 to quit)? 1
  *   Connecting to foobar ...
  *   /tmp/sock: foobar: size = 7 bytes
