There are some examples to get started using rtslib directly in Chaper 10 RTSlib – Storage Management Library and API, of the admin manual here: http://www.linux-iscsi.org/Doc/RTS%20OS%20Admin%20Manual.pdf Also, the full rtslib API reference should have been included in the distro package your using. This can also be generated directly by building from rtslib.git directly here: https://github.com/Datera/rtslib --nab -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe target-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
