nbd_get_request_extended_headers(3)

💅 nbd_get_request_extended_headers(3) — like, the libnbd glow-up page

okay bestie, so this is a page from the LIBNBD manual (yes, that libnbd) and it's all about one lil function that tells you whether extended headers are even being attempted. no cap, that's it. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

nbd_get_request_extended_headers — see if extended headers are attempted 👀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <libnbd.h>

int nbd_get_request_extended_headers (
      struct nbd_handle *h
    );

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this one returns the state of the request extended headers flag on this handle. literally just hands you back the flag's vibe check, nothing more 💅

⚠️ Note, bestie, this is important: if you wanna find out whether extended headers were actually negotiated on a particular connection, use nbd_get_extended_headers_negotiated(3) instead. this function is about the request flag, not the real-life negotiated result. iykyk 🧚

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

This call returns a boolean value. that's the whole tea 🍓

---

💜 ERRORS 💜

This function does not fail. periodt, she's unbothered, she's thriving 🔥

The following parameters must not be NULL: "h". For more information see "Non-NULL parameters" in libnbd(3). like, do not pass her a NULL bestie, she will not be okay with that 🙈

---

🎀 VERSION 🎀

This function first appeared in libnbd 1.18. iconic behavior honestly 👑

If you need to test if this function is available at compile time, check if the following macro is defined:

#define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_GET_REQUEST_EXTENDED_HEADERS 1
