We can't get rid of qrap quite yet, but at least we should start telling users it's not going to be needed anymore starting from qemu 7.2. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

.SH NAME

|
|
\- temporary qemu wrapper connecting UNIX domain socket to file descriptor

|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS

.B qrap
|
|
[\fIFDNUM\fR \fIQEMU_CMD\fR] [\fIQEMU_ARG\fR]...
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBqrap\fR is a wrapper, designed specifically for usage with \fBqemu\fR(1) and
|
|
\fBpasst\fR(1), connecting a UNIX domain socket to a file descriptor, and
|
|
running \fBqemu\fR(1) with given arguments.
|
|
|
|
A running instance of \fBpasst\fR(1) is probed checking for UNIX domain sockets,
|
|
answering a dummy ARP request, with names starting from
|
|
\fI/tmp/passt_1.socket\fR up to \fI/tmp/passt_64.socket\fR.
|
|
|
|
If first and second arguments are not a socket number and a command, that is,
|
|
respectively, \fIFDNUM\fR and \fIQEMU_CMD\fR, \fBqrap\fR will try to locate a
|
|
qemu executable in \fBPATH\fR and patch the command line to specify a network
|
|
device and a \fInetdev\fR back-end for usage with \fBpasst\fR(1).
|
|
|
|
If \fBqrap\fR patches the command line, it will remove any potentially
|
|
conflicting network device, that is, any \fI-netdev\fR or \fI-net\fR option, or
|
|
any \fI-device\fR option with argument starting with \fIvirtio-net-pci,\fR,
|
|
\fIvirtio-net-ccw,\fR, \fIe1000,\fR, \fIe1000e,\fR, or \fIrtl8139,\fR.

.SH NOTES
|
|
|
|
This wrapper is temporary: qemu commit 13c6be96618c ("net: stream: add unix
|
|
socket") introduces native AF_UNIX socket support, and it should be included in
|
|
qemu starting from the 7.2 release. It will be around for a little bit longer to
|
|
give users enough time to switch.
