libnbd-rust - how to use libnbd from Rust
let nbd = libnbd::Handle::new().unwrap();
nbd.connect_uri("nbd://localhost").unwrap();
let size = nbd.get_size().unwrap();
println!("{size} bytes");In Cargo.toml add:
[dependencies]
libnbd = VERSION | { path = "libnbd/rust" }This manual page documents how to use libnbd to access Network Block Device (NBD) servers from the Rust programming language.
The Rust bindings work very similarly to the C bindings so you should start by reading libnbd(3).
There is also a higher level asynchronous API using Tokio.
If you build libnbd from source, the main documentation can be found in libnbd/rust/target/doc/libnbd/index.html
For the ordinary interface, start by reading the documentation for Handle. For the higher level asynchronous API, start by reading AsyncHandle.
libnbd-sys is a very low level wrapper around the libnbd API which should not be used directly.
