DESCRIPTION

"nbdkit-libvirt-plugin" is an nbdkit(1) plugin that lets you access libvirt guest disks
readonly. It is implemented using the libvirt "virDomainBlockPeek" API. It can also be
used over remote libvirt connections.

PARAMETERS

connect=URI
This optional parameter specifies the libvirt connection URI.

domain=DOMAIN
This required parameter specifies the libvirt domain name (guest name).

disk=DISK
This required parameter specifies the guest's disk that we want to read.

You can either give the path to the backing device ("/path/to/disk") or the target
name (eg. "sda").

In either case use "virsh dumpxml DOMAIN" to list possible disks. Look for
"<source dev=...>" or "<source file=...>" or "<target dev=...>" in the XML.
