README

        
`nbd-netlink` supports setting up an NBD device for a specified socket and

parameters, using the Linux kernel's netlink interface to NBD. Unlike the

`ioctl`-based interface, the netlink interface can hand off a socket to the

kernel without leaving a thread or process running.

# Example

```rust

use std::net::{Ipv4Addr, TcpStream};

use nbd_netlink::{NBD, NBDConnect};

let nbd_socket = TcpStream::connect((Ipv4Addr::LOCALHOST, 10809))?;

nbd_socket.set_nodelay(true);

let mut nbd = NBD::new()?;

let index = NBDConnect::new()

    .size_bytes(1048576)

    .read_only(true)

    .connect(&mut nbd, &[nbd_socket])?;

```
