nbd_set_request_meta_context \- control whether connect automatically

.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This function controls whether the act of connecting to an export
(all \f(CW\*(C`nbd_connect_*\*(C'\fR calls when \fBnbd_set_opt_mode\fR\|(3) is false,
or \fBnbd_opt_go\fR\|(3) and \fBnbd_opt_info\fR\|(3) when option mode is
enabled) will also try to issue NBD_OPT_SET_META_CONTEXT when
the server supports structured replies or extended headers and
any contexts were registered by \fBnbd_add_meta_context\fR\|(3).  The
default setting is true; however the extra step of negotiating
meta contexts is not always desirable: performing both info and
go on the same export works without needing to re-negotiate
contexts on the second call; integration testing of other servers
may benefit from manual invocation of \fBnbd_opt_set_meta_context\fR\|(3)
at other times in the negotiation sequence; and even when using
just \fBnbd_opt_info\fR\|(3), it can be faster to collect the server's
results by relying on the callback function passed to
\&\fBnbd_opt_list_meta_context\fR\|(3) than a series of post-process
calls to \fBnbd_can_meta_context\fR\|(3).
.PP
Note that this control has no effect if the server does not
negotiate structured replies or extended headers, or if the
client did not request any contexts via \fBnbd_add_meta_context\fR\|(3).
Setting this control to false may cause \fBnbd_block_status\fR\|(3)
to fail.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUE"
If the call is successful the function returns \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.
