nbdkit-zero-plugin - nbdkit zero length plugin
=head1 SYNOPSIS
nbdkit zero
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<nbdkit-zero-plugin> is a zero length plugin for L<nbdkit(1)>. It
presents a virtual device of size 0. This plugin is used to test
corner cases in nbdkit, the NBD protocol and NBD clients.
If you want a read-only plugin with non-zero size containing zero
bytes, use L<nbdkit-null-plugin(1)>. For a writable plugin that
starts off initialized to zeroes (a RAM disk), use
L<nbdkit-memory-plugin(1)>.
