NAME

       vmci - vmware kernel module

SYNOPSIS

       modprobe vmci

DESCRIPTION

       This  is a Linux kernel device driver module that drives VMware's inter-VM communication device. The device itself is backed by a PCI-based
       virtual hardware implementation, so hotplug or udev should load it at guest boot time in any VMs using hardware version 7.

OPTIONS

       vmci has no options.

NAME

       vmhgfs - vmware kernel module

SYNOPSIS

       modprobe vmhgfs

DESCRIPTION

       This is kernel filesystem module. None of the Tools components depend on vmhgfs, nor does it have any dependencies of its own, so it can be
       loaded at any time in the boot process.

       When mounting, one must use an NFS-like "<host>:<export>" syntax. The <host> field must be ".host", while the <export> field can be "/",  a
       path  to a specific Shared Folder, or a path to a subdirectory within that Shared Folder. Note that mounting may fail if Shared Folders are
       disabled in the host; don't be alarmed. The vmhgfs filesystem supports a plethora of mount options, run	vmware-hgfsmounter(8)  -h  to  see
       them.  We  typically  exclude vmhgfs from the locate database as crawling the Shared Folders is time consuming. To do this, add "vmhgfs" to
       PRUNEFS within updatedb's configuration file, typically found in /etc/updatedb.conf.

       We also typically mount vmhgfs via:

	    mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt/hgfs

       Or by adding this line to /etc/fstab:

	    .host:/   /mnt/hgfs   vmhgfs  defaults  0 0

       The net effect is that all Shared Folders appear and disappear at /mnt/hgfs as they're added or removed.

OPTIONS

       vmhgfs has no options.
