#
# @on: Pass allow_other as a mount option.
#
# @auto: Try mounting with allow_other first, and if that fails, retry

#
# Since: 6.1

##
# @BlockExportOptionsFuse:
#
# Options for exporting a block graph node on some (file) mountpoint
# as a raw image.
#
# @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.

#
# @writable: Whether clients should be able to write to the device via the

# @bitmap: Also export a single dirty bitmap reachable from @device, so the
#          NBD client can use NBD_OPT_SET_META_CONTEXT with the metadata
#          context name "qemu:dirty-bitmap:BITMAP" to inspect the bitmap

# Remove export after all clients are disconnected.
#
# soft: Hide export from new clients, answer with ESHUTDOWN for all further
# requests from existing clients.
