nbd_aio_connect_unix - connect to the NBD server over a Unix domain socket
#include <libnbd.h>
int nbd_aio_connect_unix (struct nbd_handle *h,
const char *unixsocket);
Begin connecting to the NBD server over Unix domain socket ("unixsocket"). Parameters behave as documented in nbd_connect_unix(3).
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_UNIX 1
This example is also available as examples/aio-connect-read.c in the libnbd source code.
/* This example shows how to use the AIO (asynchronous) low
* level API to connect to a server and read the disk.
*
* Here are a few ways to try this example:
*
* nbdkit -U - linuxdisk . \
* --run './aio-connect-read $unixsocket'
*
* nbdkit -U - floppy . \
* --run './aio-connect-read $unixsocket'
*
* nbdkit -U - pattern size=1M \
* --run './aio-connect-read $unixsocket'
