NAME

       nbd_aio_connect_unix - connect to the NBD server over a Unix domain socket

SYNOPSIS

        #include <libnbd.h>

        int nbd_aio_connect_unix (struct nbd_handle *h,
                                  const char *unixsocket);

DESCRIPTION

       Begin connecting to the NBD server over Unix domain socket ("unixsocket").  Parameters
       behave as documented in nbd_connect_unix(3).

       You can check if the connection is still connecting by calling nbd_aio_is_connecting(3),
       or if it has connected to the server and completed the NBD handshake by calling
       nbd_aio_is_ready(3), on the connection.

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.

HANDLE STATE

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

VERSION

       This function first appeared in libnbd 1.0.

       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_CONNECT_UNIX 1

EXAMPLE

       This example is also available as examples/aio-connect-read.c in the libnbd source code.

        /* This example shows how to use the AIO (asynchronous) low
         * level API to connect to a server and read the disk.
         *
         * Here are a few ways to try this example:
         *
         * nbdkit -U - linuxdisk . \
         *   --run './aio-connect-read $unixsocket'
         *
         * nbdkit -U - floppy . \
         *   --run './aio-connect-read $unixsocket'
         *
         * nbdkit -U - pattern size=1M \
         *   --run './aio-connect-read $unixsocket'
