SYNOPSIS
        nbdkit file file=FILENAME


DESCRIPTION
       "nbdkit-file-plugin" is a file serving plugin for nbdkit(1).

       It serves the named "FILENAME" over NBD.


PARAMETERS
       file=FILENAME
           Serve the file named "FILENAME".  A device path can also be used here.

       rdelay=SECS
       rdelay=<NN>ms

       wdelay=SECS
       wdelay=<NN>ms
           Delay writes for "SECS" seconds or "NN" milliseconds.  This is used to simulate a slow or remote
