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.
