NAME
nbd_connect_socket - connect directly to a connected socket
SYNOPSIS
#include
<libnbd.h>
int nbd_connect_socket (
struct nbd_handle *h, int sock
);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a connected socket "sock" through which libnbd will talk to the NBD server.
The caller is responsible for creating and connecting this socket by some method, before passing it to libnbd.
If this call returns without error then socket ownership is passed to libnbd. Libnbd will close the socket when the handle is closed. The caller must not use the socket in any way.
This call returns when the connection has been made. By default, this proceeds all the way to transmission phase, but nbd_set_opt_mode(3) can be used for manual control over option negotiation performed before transmission phase.
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).
