# server will present them as named exports; for example, another
# QEMU instance could refer to them as "nbd:HOST:PORT:exportname=NAME".

# An NBD block export.

#

#        export name. (Since 2.12)
#
# @description: Free-form description of the export, up to 4096 bytes.
#               (Since 5.0)
#
# @writable: Whether clients should be able to write to the device via the
#            NBD connection (default false).
#
# @bitmap: Also export the dirty bitmap reachable from @device, so the
#          NBD client can use NBD_OPT_SET_META_CONTEXT with
#          "qemu:dirty-bitmap:NAME" to inspect the bitmap. (since 4.0)

# Export a block node to QEMU's embedded NBD server.

#
# Since: 1.3.0

# @NbdServerRemoveMode:
#
# Mode for removing an NBD export.
#
# @safe: Remove export if there are no existing connections, fail otherwise.
#
# @hard: Drop all connections immediately and remove export.
#
# Potential additional modes to be added in the future:
#
# hide: Just hide export from new clients, leave existing connections as is.
# Remove export after all clients are disconnected.
#
# soft: Hide export from new clients, answer with ESHUTDOWN for all further
# requests from existing clients.
#
# Since: 2.12
