       "nbdkit-example2-plugin" is an example nbdkit(1) plugin.

       It serves the named "FILENAME" over NBD, readonly.

       Mainly this is useful for testing nbdkit and as an example for writing nbdkit plugins (nbdkit-plugin(3)).

       There are two variations of this plugin which can be found in the source directory.  example2.c is the
       regular plugin for Linux and other Unix-like systems.  winexample2.c is the same plugin written for
       Windows using Win32 APIs to access the file.

$plugindir/nbdkit-example2-plugin.so
           The plugin.

           Use "nbdkit --dump-config" to find the location of $plugindir.
