.SH NAME
nbd_get_size \- return the export size
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& #include <libnbd.h>
\&
\& int64_t nbd_get_size (
\&           struct nbd_handle *h
\&         );
.Ve
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Returns the size in bytes of the NBD export.
.PP
Note that this call fails with \f(CW\*(C`EOVERFLOW\*(C'\fR for an unlikely
server that advertises a size which cannot fit in a 64\-bit
signed integer.
.PP
\&\fBnbdinfo\fR\|(1) \fI\-\-size\fR option is a way to access this API
from shell scripts.
.PP
This call does not block, because it returns data that is saved in
the handle from the NBD protocol handshake.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUE"
This call returns a 64 bit signed integer ≥ \f(CW0\fR.
.SH ERRORS
.IX Header "ERRORS"
On error \f(CW\-1\fR is returned.
.PP
Refer to "ERROR HANDLING" in \fBlibnbd\fR\|(3)
for how to get further details of the error.
.PP
The following parameters must not be NULL: \f(CW\*(C`h\*(C'\fR.
For more information see "Non-NULL parameters" in \fBlibnbd\fR\|(3).
.SH "HANDLE STATE"
.IX Header "HANDLE STATE"
nbd_get_size
can be called when the handle is in the following states:
