Description
Returns true if libnbd was compiled with support for the "AF_VSOCK" family of sockets, or false if not.
Note that on the Linux operating system, this returns true if there is compile-time support, but you may
still need runtime support for some aspects of AF_VSOCK usage; for example, use of "VMADDR_CID_LOCAL" as
the server name requires that the vsock_loopback kernel module is loaded.
Errors
This function does not fail.
The following parameters must not be NULL: "h". For more information see "Non-NULL parameters" in
libnbd(3).
