Description

nbdkit is a toolkit for creating Network Block Device servers.

The key features are:

* Multithreaded NBD server written in C with good performance.

* Minimal dependencies for the basic server.

* Liberal license (BSD) allows nbdkit to be linked to proprietary libraries or included in proprietary code.

* Well-documented, simple plugin API with a stable ABI guarantee. Lets you export "unconventional" block devices easily.

* You can write plugins in C, Go, Lua, Perl, Python, OCaml, Ruby, Rust, shell script or Tcl.

* Filters can be stacked in front of plugins to transform the output.
