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: .PP .Vb 8 \& ┌─────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────┐ \& │ Handle created, before connecting │ ❌ error │ \& │ Connecting │ ❌ error │ \& │ Connecting & handshaking (opt_mode) │ ✅ allowed │ \& │ Connected to the server │ ✅ allowed │ \& │ Connection shut down │ ✅ allowed │ \& │ Handle dead │ ❌ error │ \& └─────────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────┘ .Ve .SH VERSION .IX Header "VERSION" This function first appeared in libnbd 1.0. .PP If you need to test if this function is available at compile time check if the following macro is defined: .PP .Vb 1 \& #define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_GET_SIZE 1 .Ve .SH EXAMPLE .IX Header "EXAMPLE" This example is also available as \fIexamples/get\-size.c\fR in the libnbd source code. .PP .Vb 8 \& /* This example shows how to connect to an NBD \& * server and read the size of the disk. \& * \& * You can test it with nbdkit like this: \& * \& * nbdkit \-U \- memory 1M \e \& * \-\-run \*(Aq./get\-size $unixsocket\*(Aq \& */ \& \& #include \& #include \& #include \& #include \& \& #include \& \& int \& main (int argc, char *argv[]) \& { \& struct nbd_handle *nbd; \& int64_t size; \& \& if (argc != 2) { \& fprintf (stderr, "%s socket\en", argv[0]); \& exit (EXIT_FAILURE); \& } \& \& /* Create the libnbd handle. */ \& nbd = nbd_create (); \& if (nbd == NULL) { \& fprintf (stderr, "%s\en", nbd_get_error ()); \& exit (EXIT_FAILURE); \& } \& \& /* Connect to the NBD server over a \& * Unix domain socket. \& */ \& if (nbd_connect_unix (nbd, argv[1]) == \-1) { \& fprintf (stderr, "%s\en", nbd_get_error ()); \& exit (EXIT_FAILURE); \& } \& \& /* Read the size in bytes and print it. */ \& size = nbd_get_size (nbd); \& if (size == \-1) { \& fprintf (stderr, "%s\en", nbd_get_error ()); \& exit (EXIT_FAILURE); \& } \& printf ("%s: size = %" PRIi64 " bytes\en", \& argv[1], size); \& \& /* Close the libnbd handle. */ \& nbd_close (nbd); \& \& exit (EXIT_SUCCESS); \& } .Ve .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBnbd_create\fR\|(3), \&\fBnbd_opt_info\fR\|(3), "Size of the export" in \fBlibnbd\fR\|(3), \&\fBlibnbd\fR\|(3), \&\fBnbdinfo\fR\|(1). .SH AUTHORS .IX Header "AUTHORS" Eric Blake .PP Richard W.M.
