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).

HANDLE STATE¶

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

VERSION¶

This function first appeared in libnbd 1.18.

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_EXTENDED_HEADERS 1
