+QEMU virtio-fs shared file system daemon
+========================================
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+**virtiofsd** [*OPTIONS*]
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Share a host directory tree with a guest through a virtio-fs device. This
+program is a vhost-user backend that implements the virtio-fs device. Each
+virtio-fs device instance requires its own virtiofsd process.
+
+This program is designed to work with QEMU's ``--device vhost-user-fs-pci``
+but should work with any virtual machine monitor (VMM) that supports
+vhost-user. See the Examples section below.
+
+This program must be run as the root user. Upon startup the program will
+switch into a new file system namespace with the shared directory tree as its
+root. This prevents "file system escapes" due to symlinks and other file
+system objects that might lead to files outside the shared directory. The
+program also sandboxes itself using seccomp(2) to prevent ptrace(2) and other
+vectors that could allow an attacker to compromise the system after gaining
+control of the virtiofsd process.
+
+Options
+-------
+
+.. program:: virtiofsd
+
+.. option:: -h, --help
+
+ Print help.
+
+.. option:: -V, --version
+
+ Print version.
+
+.. option:: -d
+
+ Enable debug output.
+
+.. option:: --syslog
+
+ Print log messages to syslog instead of stderr.
+
+.. option:: -o OPTION
+
+ * debug -
+ Enable debug output.
+
+ * flock|no_flock -
+ Enable/disable flock. The default is ``no_flock``.
+
+ * log_level=LEVEL -
+ Print only log messages matching LEVEL or more severe. LEVEL is one of
+ ``err``, ``warn``, ``info``, or ``debug``. The default is ``info``.
+
+ * norace -
+ Disable racy fallback. The default is false.
+
+ * posix_lock|no_posix_lock -
+ Enable/disable remote POSIX locks. The default is ``posix_lock``.
+
+ * readdirplus|no_readdirplus -
+ Enable/disable readdirplus. The default is ``readdirplus``.
+
+ * source=PATH -
+ Share host directory tree located at PATH. This option is required.
+
+ * timeout=TIMEOUT -
+ I/O timeout in seconds. The default depends on cache= option.
+
+ * writeback|no_writeback -
+ Enable/disable writeback cache. The cache alows the FUSE client to buffer
+ and merge write requests. The default is ``no_writeback``.
+
+ * xattr|no_xattr -
+ Enable/disable extended attributes (xattr) on files and directories. The
+ default is ``no_xattr``.
+
+.. option:: --socket-path=PATH
+
+ Listen on vhost-user UNIX domain socket at PATH.
+
+.. option:: --fd=FDNUM
+
+ Accept connections from vhost-user UNIX domain socket file descriptor FDNUM.
+ The file descriptor must already be listening for connections.
+
+.. option:: --thread-pool-size=NUM
+
+ Restrict the number of worker threads per request queue to NUM. The default
+ is 64.
+
+.. option:: --cache=none|auto|always
+
+ Select the desired trade-off between coherency and performance. ``none``
+ forbids the FUSE client from caching to achieve best coherency at the cost of
+ performance. ``auto`` acts similar to NFS with a 1 second metadata cache
+ timeout. ``always`` sets a long cache lifetime at the expense of coherency.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Export ``/var/lib/fs/vm001/`` on vhost-user UNIX domain socket
+``/var/run/vm001-vhost-fs.sock``:
+
+::
+
+ host# virtiofsd --socket-path=/var/run/vm001-vhost-fs.sock -o source=/var/lib/fs/vm001
+ host# qemu-system-x86_64 \
+ -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/var/run/vm001-vhost-fs.sock \
+ -device vhost-user-fs-pci,chardev=char0,tag=myfs \
+ -object memory-backend-memfd,id=mem,size=4G,share=on \
+ -numa node,memdev=mem \
+ ...
+ guest# mount -t virtiofs myfs /mnt
