NBDKit

Rust bindings to the Network Block Device Kit library.

Overview

NBDKit is a framework for developing Network Block Device servers. Most of the logic lives in the C code, but there are plugins to implement a server in another language, such as Rust.

Usage

To create an NBD server in Rust, you must implement the nbdkit::Server trait, and register it with nbdkit::plugin!, like this:

[dependencies]
nbdkit = "0.1.0"

use nbdkit::*;

#[derive(Default)]
struct MyPlugin {
    // ...
}

impl Server for MyPlugin {
    // ...
}

plugin!(MyPlugin {write_at, trim, ...});

Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)

nbdkit is supported on Rust 1.46.0 and higher. The MSRV will not be changed in the future without raising the major or minor version.
