NAME

       nbd_aio_opt_structured_reply - request the server to enable structured replies

SYNOPSIS

        #include <libnbd.h>

        typedef struct {
          int (*callback) (void *user_data, int *error);
          void *user_data;
          void (*free) (void *user_data);
        } nbd_completion_callback;

        int nbd_aio_opt_structured_reply (
              struct nbd_handle *h,
              nbd_completion_callback completion_callback
            );

DESCRIPTION

       Request that the server use structured replies, by sending "NBD_OPT_STRUCTURED_REPLY".
       This behaves like the synchronous counterpart nbd_opt_structured_reply(3), except that it
       does not wait for the server's response.

       To determine when the request completes, wait for nbd_aio_is_connecting(3) to return
       false.  Or supply the optional "completion_callback" which will be invoked as described in
       "Completion callbacks" in libnbd(3), except that it is automatically retired regardless of
       return value.  Note that detecting whether the server returns an error (as is done by the
       return value of the synchronous counterpart) is only possible with a completion callback.

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).

HANDLE STATE

       nbd_aio_opt_structured_reply can be called when the handle is in the following state:

        ┌─────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────┐
        │ Handle created, before connecting   │ ❌ error                │
        │ Connecting                          │ ❌ error                │
        │ Connecting & handshaking (opt_mode) │ ✅ allowed              │
        │ Connected to the server             │ ❌ error                │
        │ Connection shut down                │ ❌ error                │
        │ Handle dead                         │ ❌ error                │
        └─────────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────┘
