nbd_aio_opt_list_meta_context(3)

NAME
nbd_aio_opt_list_meta_context - request list of available meta contexts, using implicit query

SYNOPSIS
 #include <libnbd.h>

 typedef struct {
   int (*callback) (void *user_data, const char *name);
   void *user_data;
   void (*free) (void *user_data);
 } nbd_context_callback;

 typedef struct {
   int (*callback) (void *user_data, int *error);
   void *user_data;
   void (*free) (void *user_data);
 } nbd_completion_callback;

 int nbd_aio_opt_list_meta_context (
       struct nbd_handle *h,
       nbd_context_callback context_callback,
       nbd_completion_callback completion_callback
     );

DESCRIPTION
Request that the server list available meta contexts associated with the export previously specified by the most recent nbd_set_export_name(3) or nbd_connect_uri(3), and with a list of queries from prior calls to nbd_add_meta_context(3) (see nbd_aio_opt_list_meta_context_queries(3) if you want to supply an explicit query list instead). This can only be used if nbd_set_opt_mode(3) enabled option mode.

To determine when the request completes, wait for nbd_aio_is_connecting(3) to return false. Or supply the optional "completion_callback" which will be invoked as described in "Completion callbacks" in libnbd(3), except that it is automatically retired regardless of return value. Note that detecting whether the server returns an error (as is done by the return value of the synchronous counterpart) is only possible with a completion callback.

RETURN VALUE
This call returns an integer ≥ 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
The handle must be negotiating, otherwise this call will return an error.

VERSION
This function first appeared in libnbd 1.6.

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_OPT_LIST_META_CONTEXT 1
