nbd_set_request_structured_replies(3)

NAME
nbd_set_request_structured_replies - control use of structured replies

SYNOPSIS
 #include <libnbd.h>

 int nbd_set_request_structured_replies (
       struct nbd_handle *h, bool request
     );

DESCRIPTION
By default, libnbd tries to negotiate structured replies with the server, as this protocol extension must be in use before nbd_can_meta_context(3) or nbd_can_df(3) can return true. 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. It is also useful to set this to false prior to using nbd_set_opt_mode(3) if it is desired to control when to send nbd_opt_structured_reply(3) during negotiation.

Note that setting this knob to false also disables any automatic request for extended headers.

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).

HANDLE STATE
The handle must be newly created, otherwise this call will return an error.

VERSION
This function first appeared in libnbd 1.2.

If you need to test if this function is available at compile time check if the following macro is defined:

 #define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_SET_REQUEST_STRUCTURED_REPLIES 1
