=head1 NAME
nbdkit-ones-plugin - nbdkit plugin filled with repeated 0xff or other bytes
=head1 SYNOPSIS
nbdkit ones [[size=]SIZE] [byte=N]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<nbdkit-ones-plugin> is a plugin for L<nbdkit(1)>. Any read returns
a repeating pattern of C<0xff> (all ones) bytes, or another repeating
byte if you use the C<byte> parameter. Everything written to the
virtual device is discarded.
Most NBD consumers will be very confused by this device. It is mainly
useful for testing. L<nbdkit-data-plugin(1)> can be used to create a
modifiable RAM disk initialized with fixed data.
=head1 PARAMETERS
=over 4
=item B<byte=>N
Set the repeating byte to C<N>. The default is C<0xff> (all ones).
Instead of C<byte=0> it is more efficient to use
L<nbdkit-null-plugin(1)>.
=item [B<size=>]SIZE
Specify the virtual size of the disk image.
This parameter is optional. If omitted then a zero-sized device is
created.
C<size=> __IS_MAGIC__
=back
=head1 FILES
=over 4
=item F<$plugindir/nbdkit-ones-plugin.so>
