nbd_aio_connect - connect to the NBD server
#include <libnbd.h>
int nbd_aio_connect (struct nbd_handle *h,
const struct sockaddr *addr,
socklen_t addrlen);
Begin connecting to the NBD server. The "addr" and "addrlen" parameters specify the address of the socket to connect to.
You can check if the connection is still connecting by calling nbd_aio_is_connecting(3), or if it has connected to the server and completed the NBD handshake by calling nbd_aio_is_ready(3), on the connection.
If the call is successful the function returns 0.
On error "-1" is returned.
Refer to "ERROR HANDLING" in libnbd(3) for how to get further details of the error.
The handle must be newly created, otherwise this call will return an error.
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_AIO_CONNECT 1
nbd_aio_is_connecting(3), nbd_aio_is_ready(3), nbd_create(3), libnbd(3).
