This very basic filter allows you to select an offset and range within
a plugin, for example:
nbdkit --filter=offset file file=foo offset=1M range=100M
which serves the byte range [ 1M .. 101M-1 ] from file ‘foo’.

+=head1 NAME
+
+nbdkit-offset-filter - nbdkit offset filter
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ nbdkit --filter=offset plugin offset=OFFSET range=LENGTH [plugin-args...]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<nbdkit-offset-filter> is a filter that limits requests to the byte
+range C<[offset .. offset+range-1]> within another plugin.
+
+=head1 PARAMETERS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<offset=OFFSET>
+
+The start offset. The offset must be E<ge> 0.
+
+This parameter is optional. If not given then C<offset=0> is assumed.
+
+=item B<range=LENGTH>
+
+The length of data to serve.
+
+This parameter is optional. If not given then the range is served
+starting from the offset through to the end of the underlying
+file/device.
+
+=back
+
+Note it is an error if the offset and/or range specify data which lies
+beyond the end of the underlying device.
+
+=head1 EXAMPLE
+
+Using L<nbdkit-file-plugin(1)>, serve the file C<disk.img> starting at
+offset C<1M>. The total length served is C<100M> (the underlying file
+must therefore be at least C<101M> in length):
+
+ nbdkit --filter=offset file file=disk.img offset=1M range=100M
+
+=head1 SEE ALSO
+
+L<nbdkit(1)>,
+L<nbdkit-file-plugin(1)>,
+L<nbdkit-filter(3)>.
