✨ nbd_aio_is_negotiating ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the nbd_aio_is_negotiating(3) page — she's a little libnbd girly from the LIBNBD manual fam and honestly she's giving "quick vibe check, no drama" 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

nbd_aio_is_negotiating — the girl who checks if your connection is ready to send a handshake option 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

like, the actual code, verbatim, no cap:

#include <libnbd.h>

int nbd_aio_is_negotiating (
      struct nbd_handle *h
    );

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the tea ☕ — this function returns true if this connection is ready to start another option negotiation command while handshaking with the server. Literally that's it, that's the whole gig ✨

An option command will move you back to the connecting state — go peek at nbd_aio_is_connecting(3) for that one, iykyk.

🚨 important lil caveat, bestie: this state cannot be reached unless it's requested by nbd_set_opt_mode(3). And even then, it only works with newstyle servers — an oldstyle server will just skip straight to nbd_aio_is_ready(3) like it's too cool for the negotiation arc 💀

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

This call returns a boolean value. true or false, iconic either way 👑

🌈 ERRORS 🌈

This function does not fail. Periodt. She's perfect, she never misses 💅

The following parameters must not be NULL: "h". For more info, go read "Non-NULL parameters" in libnbd(3) — no passing her a null handle, that's not the vibe 🙈

⭐ VERSION ⭐

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_AIO_IS_NEGOTIATING 1
