nbd_get_canonical_export_name - return the canonical export name, if the server has one
#include <libnbd.h> char * nbd_get_canonical_export_name (struct nbd_handle *h);
The NBD protocol permits a server to report an optional canonical export name, which may differ from the client's request (as set by nbd_set_export_name(3) or nbd_connect_uri(3)). This function accesses any name returned by the server; it may be the same as the client request, but is more likely to differ when the client requested a connection to the default export name (an empty string "").
Some servers are unlikely to report a canonical name unless the client specifically hinted about wanting it, via nbd_set_full_info(3).
This call returns a string. The caller must free the returned string to avoid a memory leak.
On error "NULL" is returned.
Refer to "ERROR HANDLING" in libnbd(3) for how to get further details of the error.
The handle must be negotiating, or connected with the server, or shut down, otherwise this call will return an error.
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_GET_CANONICAL_EXPORT_NAME 1
This example is also available as examples/server-flags.c in the libnbd source code.
/* This example shows how to connect to an NBD
* server and print the export flags.
*
* You can test it with nbdkit like this:
*
* nbdkit -U - memory 1M \
* --run './server-flags $unixsocket'
