NAME
nbd_can_fua - does the server support the FUA flag?
SYNOPSIS
#include
<libnbd.h>
int nbd_can_fua (
struct nbd_handle *h
);
DESCRIPTION
Returns true if the server supports the FUA flag on certain commands (see nbd_pwrite(3)).
This call does not block, because it returns data that is saved in the handle from the NBD protocol handshake.
RETURN VALUE
This call returns a boolean value.
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_can_fua can be called when the handle is in the following states:
┌─────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────┐
│ Handle created, before connecting │ ❌
error │
│ Connecting │ ❌ error │
│ Connecting & handshaking (opt_mode) │
✅ allowed │
│ Connected to the server │ ✅ allowed
│
│ Connection shut down │ ✅ allowed │
│ 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_CAN_FUA 1
EXAMPLE
This example is also available as examples/server-flags.c in the libnbd source code.
/* This example
shows how to connect to an NBD
* server and print the export flags.
*
* You can test it with nbdkit like this:
*
* nbdkit -U - memory 1M \
* --run './server-flags $unixsocket'
