Usage: qemu-io [OPTIONS]... [-c STRING]... [file]
QEMU Disk exerciser
--object OBJECTDEF define an object such as 'secret' for
passwords and/or encryption keys
--image-opts treat file as option string
-c, --cmd STRING execute command with its arguments
from the given string
-f, --format FMT specifies the block driver to use
-r, --read-only export read-only
-s, --snapshot use snapshot file
-n, --nocache disable host cache, short for -t none
-C, --copy-on-read enable copy-on-read
-m, --misalign misalign allocations for O_DIRECT
-k, --native-aio use kernel AIO implementation
(Linux only, prefer use of -i)
-i, --aio=MODE use AIO mode (threads, native or io_uring)
-t, --cache=MODE use the given cache mode for the image
-d, --discard=MODE use the given discard mode for the image
-T, --trace [[enable=]<pattern>][,events=<file>][,file=<file>]
specify tracing options
see qemu-img(1) man page for full description
-U, --force-share force shared permissions
-h, --help display this help and exit
