+    longDescription = ''
+      NBD — Network Block Device — is a protocol for accessing Block Devices
+      (hard disks and disk-like things) over a Network.  This is the NBD client
+      library in userspace, a simple library for writing NBD clients.
+
+      The key features are:
+      - Synchronous API for ease of use.
+      - Asynchronous API for writing non-blocking, multithreaded clients. You
+        can mix both APIs freely.
+      - High performance.
+      - Minimal dependencies for the basic library.
+      - Well-documented, stable API.
+      - Bindings in several programming languages.
+      - Shell (nbdsh) for command line and scripting.
