Hi,
Is there any plan or interest in getting the management functions added to gfapi? – looks pretty much like the client library functions could be added.
eg. the present libgfapi has glfs_mgmt.c with a few rpc messages exchanged with glusterd
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/master/api/src/glfs-mgmt.c
Any interest or plans to have more operations exposed (especially brick status change notifications to be propagated to applications)? I’m wondering if gluster cli could be built on this library – it would involve taking the functionality that exists in the cli into a library and separating out the console interactions.
Thanks

The file glfs_mgmt.c has only those functions which are required by the client stack of glusterfs to interact with
glusterd. The management here refers to interaction of the process/library with the glusterfs management daemon which is glusterd for its own purpose.
GFAPI is currently intended to be used only as a interface/api to the file glusterfs filesystem and not for management operations.
Do you have a specific requirement which would require such a feature from GFAPI?
There are other projects being developed to provide API for management operations like
