The Linux target framework (tgt) allows a Linux system to provide SCSI devices (targets) over networked SCSI transports.

tgt consists of a user-space daemon and user-space tools currently supporting the following transports:

- iSCSI (SCSI over IP) - iSER (iSCSI over RDMA, using Infiniband)

tgt also supports different storage types for use as backing stores for SCSI Logical Units:

- Plain files and block devices - Ceph/RADOS RBD volumes - GlusterFS volumes

This package includes the daemon and user-space tools.
