NAME

nbd_aio_block_status - send block status command, with 32-bit callback

#include <libnbd.h>
typedef struct {
int (*callback) (void *user_data,
const char *metacontext,
uint64_t offset, uint32_t *entries,
size_t nr_entries, int *error);
void *user_data;
void (*free) (void *user_data);
} nbd_extent_callback;
typedef struct {
int (*callback) (void *user_data, int *error);
void *user_data;
void (*free) (void *user_data);
} nbd_completion_callback;
int64_t nbd_aio_block_status (
struct nbd_handle *h, uint64_t count,
uint64_t offset,
nbd_extent_callback extent_callback,
nbd_completion_callback completion_callback,
uint32_t flags
);

DESCRIPTION

Send the block status 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).

Other parameters behave as documented in nbd_block_status(3).

This function is inherently limited to 32-bit values. If the server replies with a larger extent, the length of that extent will be truncated to just below 32 bits and any further extents from the server will be ignored. If the server replies with a status value larger than 32 bits (only possible when extended headers are in use), the callback function will be passed an "EOVERFLOW" error. To get the full extent information from a server that supports 64-bit extents, you must use nbd_aio_block_status_64(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.

RETURN VALUE

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

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_aio_block_status 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 │
└─────────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────┘

VERSION

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_BLOCK_STATUS 1
