Hi Nirmal,
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
