NAME

       nbd_connect_socket - connect directly to a connected socket

SYNOPSIS

        #include <libnbd.h>

        int nbd_connect_socket (struct nbd_handle *h, int sock);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass a connected socket (file descriptor) which libnbd will talk to.  The program is
       responsible for connecting this somehow to an NBD server.  Once the socket is passed to
       libnbd it is the responsibility of libnbd.  Libnbd may read and write to it, set it to
       non-blocking, etc., and will finally close it when the handle is closed.  The program must
       no longer use the socket.

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 1.2.

       If you need to test if this function is available at compile time check if the following
       macro is defined:

        #define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_CONNECT_SOCKET 1
