DESCRIPTION¶

Run the command as a subprocess and begin connecting to it over stdin/stdout. Parameters behave as documented in nbd_connect_command(3).

You can check if the connection is still connecting by calling nbd_aio_is_connecting(3), or if it has connected to the server and completed the NBD handshake by calling nbd_aio_is_ready(3), on the connection.

If the call is successful the function returns 0.

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", "argv". For more information see "Non-NULL parameters" in libnbd(3).

HANDLE STATE¶

The handle must be newly created, otherwise this call will return an error.
