nbd_get_structured_replies_negotiated(3)

NAME
nbd_get_structured_replies_negotiated - see if structured replies are in use

SYNOPSIS
 #include <libnbd.h>

 int nbd_get_structured_replies_negotiated (
       struct nbd_handle *h
     );

DESCRIPTION
After connecting you may call this to find out if the connection is using structured replies. Note that this setting is sticky; this can return true even after a second nbd_opt_structured_reply(3) returns false because the server detected a duplicate request.

Note that if the connection negotiates extended headers, this function returns true (as extended headers imply structured replies) even if no explicit request for structured replies was attempted.

RETURN VALUE
This call returns a boolean value.

ERRORS
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).
