+QEMU Disk Network Block Device Server
+=====================================
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+**qemu-nbd** [*OPTION*]... *filename*
+
+**qemu-nbd** -L [*OPTION*]...
+
+**qemu-nbd** -d *dev*
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Export a QEMU disk image using the NBD protocol.
+
+Other uses:
+
+- Bind a /dev/nbdX block device to a QEMU server (on Linux).
+- As a client to query exports of a remote NBD server.
+
+Options
+-------
+
+.. program:: qemu-nbd
+
+*filename* is a disk image filename, or a set of block
+driver options if ``--image-opts`` is specified.
+
+*dev* is an NBD device.
+
+.. option:: --object type,id=ID,...props...
+
+ Define a new instance of the *type* object class identified by *ID*.
+ See the :manpage:`qemu(1)` manual page for full details of the properties
+ supported. The common object types that it makes sense to define are the
+ ``secret`` object, which is used to supply passwords and/or encryption
+ keys, and the ``tls-creds`` object, which is used to supply TLS
+ credentials for the qemu-nbd server or client.
+
+.. option:: -p, --port=PORT
+
+ TCP port to listen on as a server, or connect to as a client
+ (default ``10809``).
+
+.. option:: -o, --offset=OFFSET
+
+ The offset into the image.
+
+.. option:: -b, --bind=IFACE
+
+ The interface to bind to as a server, or connect to as a client
+ (default ``0.0.0.0``).
+
+.. option:: -k, --socket=PATH
+
+ Use a unix socket with path *PATH*.
+
+.. option:: --image-opts
+
+ Treat *filename* as a set of image options, instead of a plain
+ filename. If this flag is specified, the ``-f`` flag should
+ not be used, instead the :option:`format=` option should be set.
+
+.. option:: -f, --format=FMT
+
+ Force the use of the block driver for format *FMT* instead of
+ auto-detecting.
+
+.. option:: -r, --read-only
+
+ Export the disk as read-only.
+
+.. option:: -P, --partition=NUM
+
+ Deprecated: Only expose MBR partition *NUM*. Understands physical
+ partitions 1-4 and logical partition 5. New code should instead use
+ :option:`--image-opts` with the raw driver wrapping a subset of the
+ original image.
+
+.. option:: -B, --bitmap=NAME
+
+ If *filename* has a qcow2 persistent bitmap *NAME*, expose
+ that bitmap via the ``qemu:dirty-bitmap:NAME`` context
+ accessible through NBD_OPT_SET_META_CONTEXT.
+
+.. option:: -s, --snapshot
+
+ Use *filename* as an external snapshot, create a temporary
+ file with ``backing_file=``\ *filename*, redirect the write to
+ the temporary one.
+
+.. option:: -l, --load-snapshot=SNAPSHOT_PARAM
+
+ Load an internal snapshot inside *filename* and export it
+ as an read-only device, SNAPSHOT_PARAM format is
+ ``snapshot.id=[ID],snapshot.name=[NAME]`` or ``[ID_OR_NAME]``
+
+.. option:: --cache=CACHE
+
+ The cache mode to be used with the file. See the documentation of
+ the emulator's ``-drive cache=...`` option for allowed values.
+
+.. option:: -n, --nocache
+
+ Equivalent to :option:`--cache=none`.
+
+.. option:: --aio=AIO
+
+ Set the asynchronous I/O mode between ``threads`` (the default)
+ and ``native`` (Linux only).
+
+.. option:: --discard=DISCARD
+
+ Control whether ``discard`` (also known as ``trim`` or ``unmap``)
+ requests are ignored or passed to the filesystem. *DISCARD* is one of
+ ``ignore`` (or ``off``), ``unmap`` (or ``on``). The default is
+ ``ignore``.
+
+.. option:: --detect-zeroes=DETECT_ZEROES
+
+ Control the automatic conversion of plain zero writes by the OS to
+ driver-specific optimized zero write commands. *DETECT_ZEROES* is one of
+ ``off``, ``on``, or ``unmap``. ``unmap``
+ converts a zero write to an unmap operation and can only be used if
+ *DISCARD* is set to ``unmap``. The default is ``off``.
+
+.. option:: -c, --connect=DEV
+
+ Connect *filename* to NBD device *DEV* (Linux only).
+
+.. option:: -d, --disconnect
+
+ Disconnect the device *DEV* (Linux only).
+
+.. option:: -e, --shared=NUM
+
+ Allow up to *NUM* clients to share the device (default
+ ``1``). Safe for readers, but for now, consistency is not
+ guaranteed between multiple writers.
+
+.. option:: -t, --persistent
+
+ Don't exit on the last connection.
+
+.. option:: -x, --export-name=NAME
+
+ Set the NBD volume export name (default of a zero-length string).
+
+.. option:: -D, --description=DESCRIPTION
+
+ Set the NBD volume export description, as a human-readable
+ string.
+
+.. option:: -L, --list
+
+ Connect as a client and list all details about the exports exposed by
+ a remote NBD server. This enables list mode, and is incompatible
+ with options that change behavior related to a specific export (such as
+ :option:`--export-name`, :option:`--offset`, ...).
+
+.. option:: --tls-creds=ID
+
+ Enable mandatory TLS encryption for the server by setting the ID
+ of the TLS credentials object previously created with the --object
+ option; or provide the credentials needed for connecting as a client
+ in list mode.
+
+.. option:: --fork
+
+ Fork off the server process and exit the parent once the server is running.
+
+.. option:: --pid-file=PATH
+
+ Store the server's process ID in the given file.
+
+.. option:: --tls-authz=ID
+
+ Specify the ID of a qauthz object previously created with the
+ :option:`--object` option. This will be used to authorize connecting users
+ against their x509 distinguished name.
+
+.. option:: -v, --verbose
+
+ Display extra debugging information.
+
+.. option:: -h, --help
+
+ Display this help and exit.
+
+.. option:: -V, --version
+
+ Display version information and exit.
+
+.. option:: -T, --trace [[enable=]PATTERN][,events=FILE][,file=FILE]
+
+ .. include:: qemu-option-trace.rst.inc
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Start a server listening on port 10809 that exposes only the
+guest-visible contents of a qcow2 file, with no TLS encryption, and
+with the default export name (an empty string). The command is
+one-shot, and will block until the first successful client
+disconnects:
+
+::
+
+ qemu-nbd -f qcow2 file.qcow2
+
+Start a long-running server listening with encryption on port 10810,
+and whitelist clients with a specific X.509 certificate to connect to
+a 1 megabyte subset of a raw file, using the export name 'subset':
+
+::
+
+ qemu-nbd \
+ --object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,endpoint=server,dir=/path/to/qemutls \
+ --object 'authz-simple,id=auth0,identity=CN=laptop.example.com,,\
+ O=Example Org,,L=London,,ST=London,,C=GB' \
+ --tls-creds tls0 --tls-authz auth0 \
+ -t -x subset -p 10810 \
+ --image-opts driver=raw,offset=1M,size=1M,file.driver=file,file.filename=file.raw
+
+Serve a read-only copy of just the first MBR partition of a guest
+image over a Unix socket with as many as 5 simultaneous readers, with
+a persistent process forked as a daemon:
+
+::
+
+ qemu-nbd --fork --persistent --shared=5 --socket=/path/to/sock \
+ --partition=1 --read-only --format=qcow2 file.qcow2
+
+Expose the guest-visible contents of a qcow2 file via a block device
+/dev/nbd0 (and possibly creating /dev/nbd0p1 and friends for
+partitions found within), then disconnect the device when done.
+Access to bind qemu-nbd to an /dev/nbd device generally requires root
+privileges, and may also require the execution of ``modprobe nbd``
+to enable the kernel NBD client module. *CAUTION*: Do not use
+this method to mount filesystems from an untrusted guest image - a
+malicious guest may have prepared the image to attempt to trigger
+kernel bugs in partition probing or file system mounting.
+
+::
+
+ qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 -f qcow2 file.qcow2
+ qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0
+
+Query a remote server to see details about what export(s) it is
+serving on port 10809, and authenticating via PSK:
+
+::
+
+ qemu-nbd \
+ --object tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,dir=/tmp/keys,username=eblake,endpoint=client \
+ --tls-creds tls0 -L -b remote.example.com

-qemu-nbd --fork --persistent --shared=5 --socket=/path/to/sock \
- --partition=1 --read-only --format=qcow2 file.qcow2
-@end example

-Expose the guest-visible contents of a qcow2 file via a block device
-/dev/nbd0 (and possibly creating /dev/nbd0p1 and friends for
-partitions found within), then disconnect the device when done.
-Access to bind qemu-nbd to an /dev/nbd device generally requires root
-privileges, and may also require the execution of @code{modprobe nbd}
-to enable the kernel NBD client module. @emph{CAUTION}: Do not use
-this method to mount filesystems from an untrusted guest image - a
-malicious guest may have prepared the image to attempt to trigger
-kernel bugs in partition probing or file system mounting.
-
-@example
-qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 -f qcow2 file.qcow2
-qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0
-@end example
-
-Query a remote server to see details about what export(s) it is
-serving on port 10809, and authenticating via PSK:
-
-@example
-qemu-nbd \
- --object tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,dir=/tmp/keys,username=eblake,endpoint=client \
- --tls-creds tls0 -L -b remote.example.com
-@end example
