libzbc
- Ebuilds: 3, Stable: 5.13.0-r1, Testing: 5.13.0-r1, 5.13.0 Description:
libzbc is a simple library providing functions for manipulating disks
supporting the Zoned Block Command (ZBC) and Zoned-device ATA command
set (ZAC) disks. libzbc implemention is compliant with the latest
drafts of the ZBC and ZAC standards defined by INCITS technical
committee T10 and T13 (respectively).
In addition to supporting ZBC and ZAC disks, libzbc also implements an
emulation mode allowing emulating the behavior of a host-managed zoned
disk using a regular file or a standard block device as backing store.
