NAME

       nbd_aio_connect_vsock - connect to the NBD server over AF_VSOCK socket

SYNOPSIS

        #include <libnbd.h>

        int nbd_aio_connect_vsock (
              struct nbd_handle *h, uint32_t cid, uint32_t port
            );

DESCRIPTION

       Begin connecting to the NBD server over the "AF_VSOCK" protocol to the server "cid:port".
       Parameters behave as documented in nbd_connect_vsock(3).

       You can check if the connection attempt is still underway by calling
       nbd_aio_is_connecting(3).  If nbd_set_opt_mode(3) is enabled, the connection is ready for
       manual option negotiation once nbd_aio_is_negotiating(3) returns true; otherwise, the
       connection attempt will include the NBD handshake, and is ready for use once
       nbd_aio_is_ready(3) returns true.

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).
