NAME

       nbdkit-exitlast-filter - exit on last client connection

SYNOPSIS

        nbdkit --filter=exitlast PLUGIN

DESCRIPTION

       "nbdkit-exitlast-filter" is an nbdkit filter that causes nbdkit to exit when there are no
       more client connections.  Note that it doesn't exit before the first client connection.

       One use for this is in combination with a superserver, to save resources when nbdkit is
       not in use (see nbdkit-service(1)).  Another use is to ensure nbdkit exits after the
       client has finished (but see also nbdkit-captive(1) for other ways to do this).

       To exit when an event occurs, try nbdkit-exitwhen-filter(1).

PARAMETERS

       There are no parameters specific to nbdkit-exitlast-filter.  Any parameters are passed
       through to and processed by the underlying plugin in the normal way.

FILES

       $filterdir/nbdkit-exitlast-filter.so
           The filter.

           Use "nbdkit --dump-config" to find the location of $filterdir.

VERSION

       "nbdkit-exitlast-filter" first appeared in nbdkit 1.20.
