SYNOPSIS
ietd [-c configfile] [-d debuglevel] [-f] [-g GID] [-h] [-a address]
[-p port] [-u UID]
DESCRIPTION
The ietd program implements the user level part of iSCSI Enterprise
Target software for building an iSCSI storage system on Linux.
OPTIONS

KNOWN ISSUES
Task attributes is incomplete (all tasks are treated as if they have
the SIMPLE attribute.)
SCSI task management is incomplete.
NOP-In is incomplete.
The target never sends a NOP-In of its own accord.
Header and Data Digest in a discovery session are not implemented.
Out-of-memory situation leads to the system crash (There are still some
out-of-memory bugs.)
