NAME¶

nbd_aio_opt_starttls - request the server to initiate TLS

SYNOPSIS¶

 #include <libnbd.h>
 typedef struct {
   int (*callback) (void *user_data, int *error);
   void *user_data;
   void (*free) (void *user_data);
 } nbd_completion_callback;
 int nbd_aio_opt_starttls (
       struct nbd_handle *h,
       nbd_completion_callback completion_callback
     );

DESCRIPTION¶

Request that the server initiate a secure TLS connection, by sending "NBD_OPT_STARTTLS". This behaves like the synchronous counterpart nbd_opt_starttls(3), except that it does not wait for the server's response.

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¶

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¶

nbd_aio_opt_starttls can be called when the handle is in the following state:

 ┌─────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────┐
 │ Handle created, before connecting   │ ❌ error                │
 │ Connecting                          │ ❌ error                │
 │ Connecting & handshaking (opt_mode) │ ✅ allowed              │
 │ Connected to the server             │ ❌ error                │
 │ Connection shut down                │ ❌ error                │
 │ Handle dead                         │ ❌ error                │
 └─────────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────┘

VERSION¶
