Re: [Libguestfs] [RFC nbdkit PATCH] protocol: Alter .list_exports, add .default_export

I think I get where my misunderstanding is now. I thought the problem was that the server could not store the string, but your concern is that the plugin cannot free the string after returning it to the caller (server). I can't really think of a better way to do it than the interning option you presented in the initial email. Interning might also be useful in future cases where we want to send strings to the server from the plugin.
