#
# @tls-creds: ID of the TLS credentials object (since 2.6).

#
# @max-connections: The maximum number of connections to allow at the

#
# @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.  (since 6.1; default: auto)

# @writethrough: If true, caches are flushed after every write request
#     to the export before completion is signalled.  (since: 5.2;
#     default: false)
#
# @iothread: The name of the iothread object where the export will
#     run.  The default is to use the thread currently associated with

#
# @fixed-iothread: True prevents the block node from being moved to
#     another thread while the export is active.  If true and

#     If it is created for an inactive block node, the node remains inactive.  If
#     the export type doesn't support running on an inactive node, an error is
#     returned.  If false, inactive block nodes are automatically activated before
#     creating the export and trying to inactivate them later fails.
