NAME

       qatmgr - QAT resource manager

       qatmgr

SYNOPSIS

       qatmgr [option]...

DESCRIPTION

       qatmgr is a daemon that manages QAT resources for the Intel© Quick Assist Technology
       (Intel© QAT) user space library (qatlib).

OPTIONS

       -d, --debug=LEVEL
              set debug level, default 0 for no debug. Higher debug level produces more output.

       -f, --foreground
              run in the foreground. By default, the qatmgr runs as a daemon in the background.

       -h, --help
              display help page

       -p, --policy=POLICY
              selects the QAT manager policy. This determines how resources should be allocated
              to each process using the qatlib library.  The default POLICY 0 allocates one
              virtual function (VF) from each physical function (PF) endpoint to each process.
              This should be selected for best performance.  A POLICY of 1 allocates a single VF
              to each process. This should be selected for maximum scalability.  Any other POLICY
              value allocates that number of VFs to each process.
