NAME

pmemblk_ctl_get(), pmemblk_ctl_set(), pmemblk_ctl_exec()

SYNOPSIS

#include <libpmemblk.h>

int pmemblk_ctl_get(PMEMblkpool *pbp, const char *name, void *arg); (EXPERIMENTAL)
int pmemblk_ctl_set(PMEMblkpool *pbp, const char *name, void *arg); (EXPERIMENTAL)
int pmemblk_ctl_exec(PMEMblkpool *pbp, const char *name, void *arg); (EXPERIMENTAL)

DESCRIPTION

The pmemblk_ctl_get(), pmemblk_ctl_set() and pmemblk_ctl_exec() functions provide a uniform interface for querying and modifying the internal behavior of libpmemblk(7) through the control (CTL) namespace.

See more in pmem_ctl(5) man page.

CTL NAMESPACE

prefault.at_create rw global int int - boolean

If set, every page of the pool will be touched and written to when the pool is created, in order to trigger page allocation and minimize the performance impact of pagefaults. Affects only the pmemblk_create() function.

Always returns 0.

prefault.at_open rw global int int - boolean

If set, every page of the pool will be touched and written to when the pool is opened, in order to trigger page allocation and minimize the performance impact of pagefaults. Affects only the pmemblk_open() function.

Always returns 0.

sds.at_create rw global int int - boolean

If set, force-enables or force-disables SDS feature during pool creation. Affects only the pmemblk_create() function. See pmempool_feature_query(3) for informations about SDS (SHUTDOWN_STATE) feature.

Always returns 0.

CTL EXTERNAL CONFIGURATION

In addition to direct function call, each write entry point can also be set using two alternative methods.

The first method is to load a configuration directly from the PMEMBLK_CONF environment variable.

The second method of loading an external configuration is to set the PMEMBLK_CONF_FILE environment variable to point to a file that contains a sequence of ctl queries.

See more in pmem_ctl(5) man page.
