NAME

       nbd_set_export_name - set the export name

SYNOPSIS

        #include <libnbd.h>

        int nbd_set_export_name (struct nbd_handle *h,
                                 const char *export_name);

DESCRIPTION

       For servers which require an export name or can serve different content on different
       exports, set the "export_name" to connect to.  The default is the empty string "".

       This is only relevant when connecting to servers using the newstyle protocol as the
       oldstyle protocol did not support export names.  The NBD protocol limits export names to
       4096 bytes, but servers may not support the full length.  The encoding of export names is
       always UTF-8.

       When option mode is not in use, the export name must be set before beginning a connection.
       However, when nbd_set_opt_mode(3) has enabled option mode, it is possible to change the
       export name prior to nbd_opt_go(3).  In particular, the use of nbd_opt_list(3) during
       negotiation can be used to determine a name the server is likely to accept, and
       nbd_opt_info(3) can be used to learn details about an export before connecting.

       This call may be skipped if using nbd_connect_uri(3) to connect to a URI that includes an
       export name.

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, or negotiating, 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_SET_EXPORT_NAME 1
