#
# @allocation-depth: Also export the allocation depth map for @device, so

#
# A vhost-user-blk block export.
#
# @addr: The vhost-user socket on which to listen. Both 'unix' and 'fd'

#
# @mountpoint: Path on which to export the block device via FUSE.
# This must point to an existing regular file.
#
# @growable: Whether writes beyond the EOF should grow the block node
# accordingly. (default: false)
#
# @allow-other: If this is off, only qemu's user is allowed access to
# this export. That cannot be changed even with chmod or
# chown.
# Enabling this option will allow other users access to
# the export with the FUSE mount option "allow_other".
# Note that using allow_other as a non-root user requires
# user_allow_other to be enabled in the global fuse.conf
# configuration file.
# In auto mode (the default), the FUSE export driver will
# first attempt to mount the export with allow_other, and
# if that fails, try again without.

# @safe: Remove export if there are no existing connections, fail otherwise.
#
# @hard: Drop all connections immediately and remove export.
#
# Potential additional modes to be added in the future:
#
# hide: Just hide export from new clients, leave existing connections as is.
# Remove export after all clients are disconnected.
#
# soft: Hide export from new clients, answer with ESHUTDOWN for all further
# requests from existing clients.
