+=======================================
+ rbd-fuse -- expose rbd images as files
+=======================================
+
+.. program:: rbd-fuse
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+| **rbd-fuse** [ -p pool ] [-c conffile] *mountpoint* [ *fuse options* ]
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+**rbd-fuse** is a FUSE (File system in USErspace) client for RADOS
+block device (rbd) images. Given a pool containing rbd images,
+it will mount a userspace filesystem allowing access to those images
+as regular files at **mountpoint**.
+
+The file system can be unmounted with::
+
+ fusermount -u mountpoint
+
+or by sending ``SIGINT`` to the ``rbd-fuse`` process.
+
+
+Options
+=======
+
+Any options not recognized by rbd-fuse will be passed on to libfuse.
+
+.. option:: -c ceph.conf
+
+ Use *ceph.conf* configuration file instead of the default
+ ``/etc/ceph/ceph.conf`` to determine monitor addresses during startup.
+
+.. option:: -p pool
+
+ Use *pool* as the pool to search for rbd images. Default is ``rbd``.
+
+
+Availability
+============
+
+**rbd-fuse** is part of Ceph, a massively scalable, open-source, distributed storage system. Please refer to
+the Ceph documentation at http://ceph.com/docs for more information.
