nbd_aio_block_status_filter - send filtered block status command to the NBD server

typedef struct {

uint64_t offset, nbd_extent *entries,

nbd_completion_callback completion_callback,
uint32_t flags
);Send a filtered block status 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).
Other parameters behave as documented in nbd_block_status_filter(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, contexts. For more information see "Non-NULL parameters" in libnbd(3).
nbd_aio_block_status_filter can be called when the handle is in the following state:
┌─────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────┐
│ Handle created, before connecting │ ❌ error │
│ Connecting │ ❌ error │
│ Connecting & handshaking (opt_mode) │ ❌ error │
│ Connected to the server │ ✅ allowed │
│ Connection shut down │ ❌ error │
│ Handle dead │ ❌ error │
└─────────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────┘This function first appeared in libnbd 1.18.
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_BLOCK_STATUS_FILTER 1nbd_aio_block_status_64(3), nbd_aio_command_completed(3), nbd_block_status_filter(3), nbd_can_block_status_payload(3), nbd_can_meta_context(3), nbd_create(3), nbd_set_strict_mode(3), "Issuing asynchronous commands" in libnbd(3), libnbd(3).
