NAME¶
remctl_set_source_ip - Set source IP for remctl client connections
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <remctl.h>
int
remctl_set_source_ip(struct remctl *
r, const char
*
source);
DESCRIPTION¶
remctl_set_source_ip() sets the source IP address for subsequent calls to
remctl_open() on the same struct remctl object. Call this function
before
remctl_open() if remctl client connections need to come from a
specific source IP.
The
source parameter may be an IPv4 or IPv6 address (assuming the host
supports IPv6).
Be aware that if you set an IPv4 source address and then attempt to connect to
an IPv6 address or IPv6-only host, or if you set an IPv6 address and then
attempt to connect to an IPv4 address or IPv4-only host, you will get a
connection failure error from
remctl_open().
RETURN VALUE¶
remctl_set_source_ip() returns true on success and false on failure. On
failure, the caller should call
remctl_error() to retrieve the error
message.
