+.. option:: verb=str : [rdma]
+
+ The RDMA verb to use on this side of the RDMA ioengine connection. Valid
+ values are write, read, send and recv. These correspond to the equivalent
+ RDMA verbs (e.g. write = rdma_write etc.). Note that this only needs to be
+ specified on the client side of the connection. See the examples folder.
+
+.. option:: bindname=str : [rdma]
+
+ The name to use to bind the local RDMA-CM connection to a local RDMA device.
+ This could be a hostname or an IPv4 or IPv6 address. On the server side this
+ will be passed into the rdma_bind_addr() function and on the client site it
+ will be used in the rdma_resolve_add() function. This can be useful when
+ multiple paths exist between the client and the server or in certain loopback
+ configurations.
+
+.. option:: stat_type=str : [filestat]
+
+ Specify stat system call type to measure lookup/getattr performance.
+ Default is **stat** for :manpage:`stat(2)`.
+
+.. option:: readfua=bool : [sg]
+
+ With readfua option set to 1, read operations include
+ the force unit access (fua) flag. Default is 0.
+
+.. option:: writefua=bool : [sg]
+
+ With writefua option set to 1, write operations include
+ the force unit access (fua) flag. Default is 0.
+
+.. option:: sg_write_mode=str : [sg]
+
+ Specify the type of write commands to issue. This option can take three values:
+
+ **write**
+ This is the default where write opcodes are issued as usual.
+ **verify**
+ Issue WRITE AND VERIFY commands. The BYTCHK bit is set to 0. This
+ directs the device to carry out a medium verification with no data
+ comparison. The writefua option is ignored with this selection.
+ **same**
+ Issue WRITE SAME commands. This transfers a single block to the device
+ and writes this same block of data to a contiguous sequence of LBAs
+ beginning at the specified offset. fio's block size parameter specifies
+ the amount of data written with each command. However, the amount of data
+ actually transferred to the device is equal to the device's block
+ (sector) size. For a device with 512 byte sectors, blocksize=8k will
+ write 16 sectors with each command. fio will still generate 8k of data
+ for each command but only the first 512 bytes will be used and
+ transferred to the device. The writefua option is ignored with this
+ selection.
+
+.. option:: hipri : [sg]
+
+ If this option is set, fio will attempt to use polled IO completions.
+ This will have a similar effect as (io_uring)hipri. Only SCSI READ and
+ WRITE commands will have the SGV4_FLAG_HIPRI set (not UNMAP (trim) nor
+ VERIFY). Older versions of the Linux sg driver that do not support
+ hipri will simply ignore this flag and do normal IO. The Linux SCSI
+ Low Level Driver (LLD) that "owns" the device also needs to support
+ hipri (also known as iopoll and mq_poll). The MegaRAID driver is an
+ example of a SCSI LLD. Default: clear (0) which does normal
+ (interrupted based) IO.
+
+.. option:: http_host=str : [http]
+
+ Hostname to connect to. For S3, this could be the bucket hostname.
+ Default is **localhost**
+
+.. option:: http_user=str : [http]
+
+ Username for HTTP authentication.
+
+.. option:: http_pass=str : [http]
+
+ Password for HTTP authentication.
+
+.. option:: https=str : [http]
+
+ Enable HTTPS instead of http. *on* enables HTTPS; *insecure*
+ will enable HTTPS, but disable SSL peer verification (use with
+ caution!). Default is **off**
+
+.. option:: http_mode=str : [http]
+
+ Which HTTP access mode to use: *webdav*, *swift*, or *s3*.
+ Default is **webdav**
+
+.. option:: http_s3_region=str : [http]
+
+ The S3 region/zone string.
+ Default is **us-east-1**
+
+.. option:: http_s3_key=str : [http]
+
+ The S3 secret key.
+
+.. option:: http_s3_keyid=str : [http]
+
+ The S3 key/access id.
+
+.. option:: http_swift_auth_token=str : [http]
+
+ The Swift auth token. See the example configuration file on how
+ to retrieve this.
+
+.. option:: http_verbose=int : [http]
+
+ Enable verbose requests from libcurl. Useful for debugging. 1
+ turns on verbose logging from libcurl, 2 additionally enables
+ HTTP IO tracing. Default is **0**
+
+.. option:: uri=str : [nbd]
+
+ Specify the NBD URI of the server to test. The string
+ is a standard NBD URI
+ (see https://github.com/NetworkBlockDevice/nbd/tree/master/doc).
+ Example URIs: nbd://localhost:10809
+ nbd+unix:///?socket=/tmp/socket
+ nbds://tlshost/exportname
+
+.. option:: gpu_dev_ids=str : [libcufile]
+
+ Specify the GPU IDs to use with CUDA. This is a colon-separated list of
+ int. GPUs are assigned to workers roundrobin. Default is 0.
+
+.. option:: cuda_io=str : [libcufile]
+
+ Specify the type of I/O to use with CUDA. Default is **cufile**.
+
+ **cufile**
+ Use libcufile and nvidia-fs. This option performs I/O directly
+ between a GPUDirect Storage filesystem and GPU buffers,
+ avoiding use of a bounce buffer. If :option:`verify` is set,
+ cudaMemcpy is used to copy verificaton data between RAM and GPU.
+ Verification data is copied from RAM to GPU before a write
+ and from GPU to RAM after a read. :option:`direct` must be 1.
+ **posix**
+ Use POSIX to perform I/O with a RAM buffer, and use cudaMemcpy
+ to transfer data between RAM and the GPUs. Data is copied from
+ GPU to RAM before a write and copied from RAM to GPU after a
+ read. :option:`verify` does not affect use of cudaMemcpy.
