# @block-stream:

# Copy data from a backing file into a block device.

# The block streaming operation is performed in the background until the entire

# has started.  The status of ongoing block streaming operations can be checked

# using the block-job-cancel command.
#
# If a base file is specified then sectors are not copied from that base file and
# its backing chain.  When streaming completes the image file will have the base
# file as its backing file.  This can be used to stream a subset of the backing
