<p class="MsoNormal">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

<br></div>Hi Nirmal,<div><br></div><div>The file glfs_mgmt.c has only those functions which are required by the client stack of glusterfs to interact with</div><div>glusterd. The management here refers to interaction of the process/library with the glusterfs management daemon which is glusterd for its own purpose.</div>
<div><br></div><div>GFAPI is currently intended to be used only as a interface/api to the file glusterfs filesystem and not for management operations.</div><div><br></div><div>Do you have a specific requirement which would require such a feature from GFAPI?</div>
