This filter prefetches data when the client is reading sequentially.
It is essentially designed to accelerate ‘qemu-img convert’ with slow
plugins like curl and ssh.

+=head1 NAME
+
+nbdkit-readahead-filter - prefetch data when reading sequentially
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ nbdkit --filter=readahead plugin
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<nbdkit-readahead-filter> is a filter that prefetches data when the
+client is reading sequentially.
+
+A common use for this filter is to accelerate sequential copy
+operations (like S<C<qemu-img convert>>) when the plugin is slow (like
+L<nbdkit-curl-plugin(1)>). For example:
+
+ nbdkit -U - --filter=readahead curl https://example.com/disk.img \
+ --run 'qemu-img convert $nbd disk.img'
+
+=head1 PARAMETERS
+
+There are no parameters specific to nbdkit-readahead-filter. Any
+parameters are passed through to and processed by the underlying
+plugin in the normal way.
