lsm_nfs_export_fs(3)

💖 lsm_nfs_export_fs — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the Libstoragemgmt C API Manual, and it's literally about lsm_nfs_export_fs(3). it's giving "let me set up your NFS export real quick" energy and honestly? iconic. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

lsm_nfs_export_fs — Creates or modifies an NFS export. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int lsm_nfs_export_fs (lsm_connect *conn, const char *fs_id, const char
*export_path, lsm_string_list *root_list, lsm_string_list *rw_list,
lsm_string_list *ro_list, uint64_t anon_uid, uint64_t anon_gid, const
char *auth_type, const char *options, lsm_nfs_export **exported,
lsm_flag flags);

like yes she takes a LOT of arguments. she's high maintenance but she's worth it, no cap. 💜

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• conn — Valid connection. gotta be a real one, fr fr.
• fs_id — String. File system ID to export. the actual filesystem you're showing off.
• export_path — String. Export path. where the magic happens.
• root_list — Pointer of lsm_string_list. List of hosts that have root access. 👑 main character hosts only.
• rw_list — Pointer of lsm_string_list. List of hosts that have read/write access. they can touch, they can change things. ✨
• ro_list — Pointer of lsm_string_list. List of hosts that have read only access. look but don't touch bestie 🫶
• anon_uid — uint64_t. UID to map to anonymous.
• anon_gid — uint64_t. GID to map to anonymous.
• auth_type — String. NFS client authentication type.
• options — Array specific options.
• exported — Output pointer of lsm_nfs_export for newly created NFS export. Returned value must be freed with lsm_nfs_export_record_free. ⚠️ yes you HAVE to free it, don't leave her hanging, that's a memory leak and it's not the vibe.
• flags — Reserved for future use, must be LSM_CLIENT_FLAG_RSVD. no improvising, okay? 🙈

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

🔥 CAPABILITY 🔥

LSM_CAP_EXPORT_FS

---

💀 RETURN 💀

Error code as enumerated by lsm_error_number. so here's the rundown:

• LSM_ERR_OK — On success. slay! 🎉
• LSM_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT — When any argument is NULL or not a valid lsm_connect pointer or invalid flags. you gave her nothing to work with 😭
• LSM_ERR_NOT_FOUND_FS — When file system not found. she looked everywhere bestie, it's not there 💀

ngl, if you see anything other than LSM_ERR_OK, go check your args first. it's almost always the args. 🙈
