-@item disk:[format=@var{format}]:file
+@item disk:[format=@var{format}]:@var{file}
Mass storage device based on file. The optional @var{format} argument
will be used rather than detecting the format. Can be used to specifiy
-format=raw to avoid interpreting an untrusted format header.

-@item net:options
+@item net:@var{options}
Network adapter that supports CDC ethernet and RNDIS protocols.

By convention the TCP port is 5900+@var{d}. Optionally, @var{host} can
be omitted in which case the server will accept connections from any host.

+@item unix:@var{path}
Connections will be allowed over UNIX domain sockets where @var{path} is the
location of a unix socket to listen for connections on.
Require that client use TLS when communicating with the VNC server. This
uses anonymous TLS credentials so is susceptible to a man-in-the-middle
