The uapi <linux/nbd.h> header declares a 'char handle[8]' per request;
which is overloaded in English (are you referring to "handle" the
verb, such as handling a signal or writing a callback handler, or
"handle" the noun, the value used in a lookup table to correlate a
response back to the request). Many user-space NBD implementations
(both servers and clients) have instead used 'uint64_t cookie' or
similar, as it is easier to directly assign an integer than to futz
around with memcpy. In fact, upstream documentation is now
encouraging this shift in terminology:
