NAME

       vmsock - vmware kernel module

SYNOPSIS

       modprobe vmsock

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  a Linux kernel device driver module that provides datagram and stream socket interfaces to the underlying VMCI device. The module
       implements a Linux socket family and one of the files in the module, vmci_sockets.h, provides the various constants and functions necessary
       to create and, in the case of streams, connect sockets.

       When the module is loaded, /dev/vsock will be created with restricted permissions. Access to /dev/vsock is required to use VMCI sockets, so
       it's recommended that permissions be relaxed via a udev policy file. For reference, the VMware Tools init script changes the permissions of
       /dev/vsock to 666.

       Normally,  issuing  a socket(2) system call will automatically load the kernel module providing that socket family, but as the vsock module
       is out-of-tree, there is no in-tree socket family reservation for VMCI sockets. Before sockets are  created,  userspace	applications  must
       call  VMCISock_GetAFValue  (defined in vmci_sockets.h) which will instruct the vsock module to dynamically acquire a socket family reserva-
       tion from the kernel. This function is implemented via ioctl(2) into the vsock module, so the vsock module must be manually loaded  by  the
       user (perhaps using /etc/modules).

       The vmci_sockets.h header should be installed in a system-wide location. We recommend /usr/include/vmci.

       The vsock module depends on symbols from the vmci module, and so the vmci module must be loaded first.

OPTIONS

       vmsock has no options.
