175 # Describes a vhost user backend to management software.
177 # It is possible for multiple @VhostUserBackend elements to match the
178 # search criteria of management software. Applications thus need rules
179 # to pick one of the many matches, and users need the ability to
180 # override distro defaults.
182 # It is recommended to create vhost user backend JSON files (each
183 # containing a single @VhostUserBackend root element) with a
184 # double-digit prefix, for example "50-qemu-gpu.json",
185 # "50-crosvm-gpu.json", etc, so they can be sorted in predictable
186 # order. The backend JSON files should be searched for in three
189 # - /usr/share/qemu/vhost-user -- populated by distro-provided
190 # packages (XDG_DATA_DIRS covers
191 # /usr/share by default),
193 # - /etc/qemu/vhost-user -- exclusively for sysadmins' local additions,
195 # - $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/qemu/vhost-user -- exclusively for per-user local
196 # additions (XDG_CONFIG_HOME
197 # defaults to $HOME/.config).
199 # Top-down, the list of directories goes from general to specific.
201 # Management software should build a list of files from all three
202 # locations, then sort the list by filename (i.e., basename
203 # component). Management software should choose the first JSON file on
204 # the sorted list that matches the search criteria. If a more specific
205 # directory has a file with same name as a less specific directory,
206 # then the file in the more specific directory takes effect. If the
207 # more specific file is zero length, it hides the less specific one.
209 # For example, if a distro ships
211 # - /usr/share/qemu/vhost-user/50-qemu-gpu.json
213 # - /usr/share/qemu/vhost-user/50-crosvm-gpu.json
215 # then the sysadmin can prevent the default QEMU GPU being used at all with
217 # $ touch /etc/qemu/vhost-user/50-qemu-gpu.json
219 # The sysadmin can replace/alter the distro default QEMU GPU with
221 # $ vim /etc/qemu/vhost-user/50-qemu-gpu.json
223 # or they can provide a parallel QEMU GPU with higher priority
225 # $ vim /etc/qemu/vhost-user/10-qemu-gpu.json
227 # or they can provide a parallel QEMU GPU with lower priority
229 # $ vim /etc/qemu/vhost-user/99-qemu-gpu.json
231 # @type: The vhost user backend type.
233 # @description: Provides a human-readable description of the backend.
234 # Management software may or may not display @description.
236 # @binary: Absolute path to the backend binary.
238 # @tags: An optional list of auxiliary strings associated with the
239 # backend for which @description is not appropriate, due to the
240 # latter's possible exposure to the end-user. @tags serves
241 # development and debugging purposes only, and management
242 # software shall explicitly ignore it.
