SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

13       "nbdkit-limit-filter" is an nbdkit filter that limits the number of
14       clients which can connect concurrently.  If more than "limit=N"
15       (default: 1) clients try to connect at the same time then later clients
16       are rejected.
17

PARAMETERS

19       limit=N
20           Limit the number of concurrent clients to "N".  This parameter is
21           optional.  If not specified then the limit defaults to 1.  You can
22           also set this to 0 to make the number of clients unlimited (ie.
23           disable the filter).
24

FILES
