This adds the hooks for filters and plugins; later patches will put
them to use. For now, a filter can only modify export names when a
client requests; a later patch will probably add a way for filters to
open an arbitrary connection on the plugin independent of any
connection from the client, which will give filters much more
flexibility on how they manage export names.

+
+ int list_exports (int readonly, int default_only,
+ struct nbdkit_exports *exports);
+
+This optional callback is called if the client tries to list the
+exports served by the plugin (using C<NBD_OPT_LIST>). If the plugin
+does not supply this callback then a single export called C<""> is
+returned. The NBD protocol defines C<""> as the default export, so
+this is suitable for plugins which ignore the export name and always
+serve the same content. See also L</EXPORT NAME> below.
+
+The C<readonly> flag informs the plugin that the server was started
+with the I<-r> flag on the command line, which is the same value
+passed to C<.preconnect> and C<.open>. However, the NBD protocol does
+not yet have a way to let the client advertise an intent to be
+read-only even when the server allows writes, so this parameter may
+not be as useful as it appears.
+
+If the C<default_only> flag is set then the client is querying for the
+name of the default export, and the plugin may optimize by adding only
+a single export to the returned list (the default export name, usually
+C<"">). The plugin can ignore this flag and return all exports if it
+wants.
+
+The C<exports> parameter is an opaque object for collecting the list
+of exports. Call C<nbdkit_add_export> to add a single export to the
+list. If the plugin has a concept of a default export (usually but
+not always called C<"">) then it should return that first in the list.
+
+ int nbdkit_add_export (struct nbdkit_export *exports,
+ const char *name, const char *description);
+
+The C<name> must be a non-NULL, UTF-8 string between 0 and 4096 bytes
+in length. Export names must be unique. C<description> is an
+optional description of the export which some clients can display but
+which is otherwise unused (if you don't want a description, you can
+pass this parameter as C<NULL>). The string(s) are copied into the
+exports list so you may free them immediately after calling this
+function. C<nbdkit_add_export> returns C<0> on success or C<-1> on
+failure; on failure C<nbdkit_error> has already been called, with
+C<errno> set to a suitable value.
+
+Returning C<0> will send the list of exports back to the client. If
+there is an error, C<.list_exports> should call C<nbdkit_error> with
