This can be used to filter a single partition from a disk image. It
supports MBR and GPT, but not MBR extended partitions because those
are crazy.

+=head1 NAME
+
+nbdkit-partition-filter - nbdkit partition filter
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ nbdkit --filter=partition plugin partition=PART [plugin-args...]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<nbdkit-partition-filter> is a filter that limits requests to a
+single partition within a disk image that is served by another plugin.
+
+Partition numbers are specified by the required C<partition>
+parameter, and count from 1.
+
+This works like the C<qemu-nbd -P> option.
+
+=head1 NOTE
+
+Only MBR primary partitions and GPT partition tables are supported.
+MBR logical partitions are B<not> supported.
+
+=head1 PARAMETERS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<partition=PART>
+
+The partition number to serve, counting from 1.
+
+This parameter is required.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 EXAMPLE
+
+F<disk.img> is a partitioned disk image (eg. a virtual machine disk
+image). To serve the first partition only use:
+
+ nbdkit --filter=partition file file=disk.img partition=1
