NAME

       remctl_set_source_ip - Set source IP for remctl client connections

SYNOPSIS

       #include <remctl.h>

       int remctl_set_source_ip(struct remctl *r, const char *source);

DESCRIPTION

       remctl_set_source_ip() sets the source IP address for subsequent calls to remctl_open() on
       the same struct remctl object.  Call this function before remctl_open() if remctl client
       connections need to come from a specific source IP.

       The source parameter may be an IPv4 or IPv6 address (assuming the host supports IPv6).

       Be aware that if you set an IPv4 source address and then attempt to connect to an IPv6
       address or IPv6-only host, or if you set an IPv6 address and then attempt to connect to an
       IPv4 address or IPv4-only host, you will get a connection failure error from
       remctl_open().

RETURN VALUE

       remctl_set_source_ip() returns true on success and false on failure.  On failure, the
       caller should call remctl_error() to retrieve the error message.

COMPATIBILITY

       This interface was added in version 3.0.
