FVERSION(2)							   FVERSION(2)

NAME
       fversion - initialize 9P connection and negotiate version

SYNOPSIS
       #include <u.h>
       #include <libc.h>

       int   fversion(int fd, int bufsize, char *version, int nversion)

DESCRIPTION
       Fversion	 is used to initialize the 9P connection represented by fd and
       to negotiate the version of the protocol to be used.

       The bufsize determines the size of the I/O  buffer  used	 to  stage  9P
       requests	 to  the  server,  subject  to	the  constraints of the server
       itself.	The version is a text string that represents the highest  ver‐
       sion  level the protocol will support.  The version will be overwritten
       with the negotiated, possibly lower,  version  of  the  protocol.   The
       return  value of fversion is the length of the returned version string;
       the value of nversion is therefore not the length of the version string
       presented  to  the  system  call, but the total length of the buffer to
       accept the final result, in the manner of a read system call.

       Default values of zero for bufsize and the  empty  string  for  version
       will negotiate sensible defaults for the connection.  If version is the
       empty string, nversion must  still  be  large  enough  to  receive  the
       returned version string.

       The interpretation of the version strings is defined in version(5).

       It  is  rare  to use fversion directly; usually the default negotiation
       performed by the kernel during mount (see bind(2)) or  even  more  com‐
       monly amount (see auth(2)) is sufficient.
