DESCRIPTION

15       Connect (synchronously) over the "AF_VSOCK" protocol from a virtual
16       machine to an NBD server, usually running on the host.  The "cid" and
17       "port" parameters specify the server address.  Usually "cid" should be
18       2 (to connect to the host), and "port" might be 10809 or another port
19       number assigned to you by the host administrator.  This call returns
