Libguestfs - Feb 2020 - FYI: patch to make GNU poke become a libnbd client

If you're interested in editing binary data served by an arbitrary NBD 
server, I've just proposed a patch to integrate NBD client support into 
GNU poke:

I got the wrong end of the stick when you were explaining this on IRC.
I thought you were going to add some kind of NBD protocol analysis,
but the patch actually allows you to use poke to examine remote nbd://
resources, which is nice and also makes more sense.
