NAME
nbd_set_request_extended_headers - control use of extended headers
SYNOPSIS
#include
<libnbd.h>
int nbd_set_request_extended_headers (
struct nbd_handle *h, bool request
);
DESCRIPTION
By default, libnbd tries to negotiate extended headers with the server, as this protocol extension permits the use of 64-bit zero, trim, and block status actions. However, for integration testing, it can be useful to clear this flag rather than find a way to alter the server to fail the negotiation request.
For backwards compatibility, the setting of this knob is ignored if nbd_set_request_structured_replies(3) is also set to false, since the use of extended headers implies structured replies.
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).
