+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\fB-o\ show_sidecar\fR
+.br
+Don't hide sidecar files. By default the sidecar files are kept as
+siblings to the attributed pathnames plus extension ".xattr", but
+hidden from access through the mountpoint. With this option the
+sidecar files will show up as files.
+.TP
+\fB-o\ enable_namespaces\fR
+.br
+Enable namespaces checks. Restricts attribute setting to the "user"
+namespace.
+.TP
+\fB-o\ sroot=path\fR
+.br
+Use other sidecar root path. By default the sidecar files are kept as
+siblings to the attributed pathnames plus extension ".xattr". By this
+option, the sidecar files are instead held as a nominated directory
+tree which typically is different from the source directory.
+.TP
+\fB-o \fIfuse option\fR
