.SH NAME
nbd_opt_structured_reply \- request the server to enable structured
replies
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& #include <libnbd.h>
\&
\& int nbd_opt_structured_reply (
\&       struct nbd_handle *h
\&     );
.Ve
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Request that the server use structured replies, by sending
\&\f(CW\*(C`NBD_OPT_STRUCTURED_REPLY\*(C'\fR.  This can only be used if
\&\fBnbd_set_opt_mode\fR\|(3) enabled option mode; furthermore, libnbd
defaults to automatically requesting this unless you use
\&\fBnbd_set_request_structured_replies\fR\|(3) prior to connecting.
This function is mainly useful for integration testing of corner
cases in server handling.
.PP
This function returns true if the server replies with success,
false if the server replies with an error, and fails only if
the server does not reply (such as for a loss of connection).
Note that some servers fail a second request as redundant;
libnbd assumes that once one request has succeeded, then
structured replies are supported (as visible by
\&\fBnbd_get_structured_replies_negotiated\fR\|(3)) regardless if
later calls to this function return false.  Similarly, a
server may fail this request if extended headers are already
negotiated, since extended headers take priority.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUE"
This call returns a boolean value.
.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_opt_structured_reply
can be called when the handle is in the following state:
.PP
.Vb 8
\& ┌─────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────┐
\& │ Handle created, before connecting   │ ❌ error                │
\& │ Connecting                          │ ❌ error                │
\& │ Connecting & handshaking (opt_mode) │ ✅ allowed              │
