Expand description

Creates new connections to an instance of fuchsia.hardware.block.Block and similar protocols (Volume, Partition).

NOTE: It is important to understand the difference between BlockConnector and the actual protocols (e.g. a ClientEnd<BlockMarker> or BlockProxy): BlockConnector is used to create new connections to a Block.

It is not possible to directly convert a ClientEnd<BlockMarker> (or BlockProxy) into a BlockConnector, because Block is not cloneable. To implement BlockConnector, you will need a way to generate new connections to a Block instance. A few common implementations are provided below.
