nbdkit-file-plugin - nbdkit file plugin
nbdkit file [file=]FILENAME
"nbdkit-file-plugin" is a file serving plugin for nbdkit(1).
It serves the named "FILENAME" over NBD. Local block devices (eg. /dev/sda) may also be served.
To concatenate multiple files, use nbdkit-split-plugin(1).
This parameter is required.
In nbdkit ≥ 1.8, "file=" may be omitted. To ensure that the filename does not end up being parsed accidentally as "key=value", prefix relative paths with "./" (absolute paths do not need modification).
You can obtain extra information about how the file plugin was compiled by doing:
nbdkit file --dump-plugin
