This is certainly too complicated, because this example is also an experiment,
trying to implement the core of nbdcopy with libev.

I can try to add a basic example, or maybe something like a tutorial
that adds functionality one step at a time?

Maybe something like:

Could be a lot of work.  How about a simple example that does
something like reads from the start to the end, dumping output to
stdout, ignoring extents?
