nbd_opt_list - request the server to list all exports during negotiation
#include <libnbd.h>
typedef struct {
int (*callback) (void *user_data, const char *name,
const char *description);
void *user_data;
void (*free) (void *user_data);
} nbd_list_callback;
int nbd_opt_list (struct nbd_handle *h,
nbd_list_callback list_callback);
Request that the server list all exports that it supports. This can only be used if nbd_set_opt_mode(3) enabled option mode.
The "list" function is called once per advertised export, with any "user_data" passed to this function, and with "name" and "description" supplied by the server. Many servers omit descriptions, in which case "description" will be an empty string. Remember that it is not safe to call nbd_set_export_name(3) from within the context of the callback function; rather, your code must copy any "name" needed for later use after this function completes. At present, the return value of the callback is ignored, although a return of -1 should be avoided.
For convenience, when this function succeeds, it returns the number of exports that were advertised by the server.
Not all servers understand this request, and even when it is understood, the server might intentionally send an empty list to avoid being an information leak, may encounter a failure after delivering partial results, or may refuse to answer more than one query per connection in the interest of avoiding negotiation that does not resolve. Thus, this function may succeed even when no exports are reported, or may fail but have a non-empty list. Likewise, the NBD protocol does not specify an upper bound for the number of exports that might be advertised, so client code should be aware that a server may send a lengthy list.
For nbd-server(1) you will need to allow clients to make list requests by adding "allowlist=true" to the "[generic]" section of /etc/nbd-server/config. For qemu-nbd(8), a description is set with -D.
This call returns an integer ≥ 0.
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).
The handle must be negotiating, 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_OPT_LIST 1
This example is also available as examples/list-exports.c in the libnbd source code.
/* This example shows how to list NBD exports.
*
* To test this with qemu-nbd:
* $ qemu-nbd -x "hello" -t -k /tmp/sock disk.img
* $ ./run examples/list-exports /tmp/sock
* [0] hello
* Which export to connect to (-1 to quit)? 0
* Connecting to hello ...
* /tmp/sock: hello: size = 2048 bytes
*
* To test this with nbdkit (requires 1.22):
* $ nbdkit -U /tmp/sock sh - <<\EOF
* case $1 in
* list_exports) echo NAMES; echo foo; echo foobar ;;
* open) echo "$3" ;;
* get_size) echo "$2" | wc -c ;;
* pread) echo "$2" | dd bs=1 skip=$4 count=$3 ;;
* *) exit 2 ;;
* esac
* EOF
* $ ./run examples/list-exports /tmp/sock
* [0] foo
* [1] foobar
* Which export to connect to (-1 to quit)? 1
* Connecting to foobar ...
* /tmp/sock: foobar: size = 7 bytes
