DESCRIPTION

16       "nbdkit-example3-plugin" is an example nbdkit(1) plugin.
17
18       On each connection, it generates a temporary writable block device of
19       size "SIZE".  The disk is thrown away when the client disconnects.
20
21       The "size=SIZE" parameter can use a number of common formats to specify
22       the size, eg. "100M", "2G".  If the parameter is omitted, it defaults
23       to 100M.
24
25       Mainly this is useful for testing nbdkit and as an example for writing
26       nbdkit plugins (nbdkit-plugin(3)).
