Issue a read command to the NBD server.
To check if the command completed, call nbd_aio_command_completed(3). Or supply the optional "completion_callback" which will be invoked as described in "Completion callbacks" in libnbd(3).
Note that you must ensure "buf" is valid until the command has completed. Furthermore, if the "error" parameter to "completion_callback" is set or if nbd_aio_command_completed(3) reports failure, and if nbd_get_pread_initialize(3) returns true, then libnbd sanitized "buf", but it is unspecified whether the contents of "buf" will read as zero or as partial results from the server. If nbd_get_pread_initialize(3) returns false, then libnbd did not sanitize "buf", and the contents are undefined on failure.
Other parameters behave as documented in nbd_pread_structured(3).
By default, libnbd will reject attempts to use this function with parameters that are likely to result in server failure, such as requesting an unknown command flag. The nbd_set_strict_mode(3) function can be used to alter which scenarios should await a server reply rather than failing fast.
This call returns the 64 bit cookie of the command. The cookie is ≥ 1. Cookies are unique (per libnbd handle, not globally).
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", "buf". For more information see "Non-NULL parameters" in libnbd(3).
The handle must be connected with the server, 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_PREAD_STRUCTURED 1
nbd_aio_command_completed(3), nbd_aio_pread(3), nbd_create(3), nbd_get_pread_initialize(3), nbd_pread_structured(3), nbd_set_pread_initialize(3), nbd_set_strict_mode(3), "Issuing asynchronous commands" in libnbd(3), libnbd(3).
