NAME

       nbd_opt_info - request the server for information about an export

SYNOPSIS

        #include <libnbd.h>

        int nbd_opt_info (struct nbd_handle *h);

DESCRIPTION

       Request that the server supply information about the export name previously specified by
       the most recent nbd_set_export_name(3) or nbd_connect_uri(3).  This can only be used if
       nbd_set_opt_mode(3) enabled option mode.

       If successful, functions like nbd_is_read_only(3) and nbd_get_size(3) will report details
       about that export.  In general, if nbd_opt_go(3) is called next, that call will likely
       succeed with the details remaining the same, although this is not guaranteed by all
       servers.

       Not all servers understand this request, and even when it is understood, the server might
       fail the request even when a corresponding nbd_opt_go(3) would succeed.

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 negotiating, otherwise this call will return an error.

VERSION

       This function first appeared in libnbd 1.4.

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

        #define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_OPT_INFO 1
