set the handle name

Synopsis

 #include <libnbd.h>

 int nbd_set_handle_name (
       struct nbd_handle *h, const char *handle_name
     );

Description

Handles have a name which is unique within the current process. The handle name is used in debug output.

Handle names are normally generated automatically and have the form "nbd1", "nbd2", etc., but you can optionally use this call to give the handles a name which is meaningful for your application to make debugging output easier to understand.

Return Value

If the call is successful the function returns 0.

Errors

On error -1 is returned.

Refer to "ERROR HANDLING" in libnbd(3) for how to get further details of the error.

The following parameters must not be NULL: h, handle_name. For more information see "Non-NULL parameters" in libnbd(3).

Version

This function first appeared in libnbd 1.0.

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

 #define LIBNBD_HAVE_NBD_SET_HANDLE_NAME 1
