[PATCH] qemu-nbd: Convert invocation documentation to rST |
|
Date: |
Mon, 13 Jan 2020 18:08:12 +0000 |
The qemu-nbd documentation is currently in qemu-nbd.texi in Texinfo
format, which we present to the user as:
* a qemu-nbd manpage
* a section of the main qemu-doc HTML documentation
Convert the documentation to rST format, and present it to the user as:
* a qemu-nbd manpage
* part of the interop/ Sphinx manual
This follows the same pattern as commit 27a296fce982 did for the
qemu-ga manpage.
All the content of the old manpage is retained, except that I have
dropped the "This is free software; see the source for copying
conditions. There is NO warranty..." text that was in the old AUTHOR
section; Sphinx's manpage builder doesn't expect that much text in
the AUTHOR section, and since none of our other manpages have it it
seems easiest to delete it rather than try to figure out where else
in the manpage to put it.
The only other textual change is that I have had to give the
--nocache option its own description ("Equivalent to --cache=none")
because Sphinx doesn't have an equivalent of using item/itemx
to share a description between two options.
Some minor aspects of the formatting have changed, to suit what is
easiest for Sphinx to output. (The most notable is that Sphinx
option section option syntax doesn't support '--option foo=bar'
with bar underlined rather than bold, so we have to switch to
'--option foo=BAR' instead.)
The contents of qemu-option-trace.texi are now duplicated in
docs/interop/qemu-option-trace.rst.inc, until such time as we complete
the conversion of the other files which use it; since it has had only
3 changes in 3 years, this shouldn't be too awkward a burden.
(We use .rst.inc because if this file fragment has a .rst extension
then Sphinx complains about not seeing it in a toctree.)

+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

-@c man begin 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:
-
-@example
-qemu-nbd -f qcow2 file.qcow2
-@end example
-
-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':
-
-@example
-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
-@end example
-
-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:
-
-@example
-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
