root@linuxhelp:~# djmount --help
usage: djmount [options] mountpoint

Options:
    -h or --help           print this help, then exit
    --version              print version number, then exit
    -o [options]           mount options (see below)
    -d[levels]             enable debug output (implies -f)
    -s                     sloppy -- ignore unknown options
    -f                     foreground operation (default: daemonized)

Mount options (one or more comma separated options) :
    iocharset=< charset>     filenames encoding (default: environment)
    playlists              use playlists for AV files, instead of plain files
    search_history=< size>   number of remembered searches (default: 100)
                           (set to 0 to disable search)
    sloppy                 ignore unknown options (e.g., for /etc/fstab)

See FUSE documentation for the following mount options:
    default_permissions    enable permission checking by kernel
    allow_other            allow access to other users
    allow_root             allow access to root
    kernel_cache           cache files in kernel
    nonempty               allow mounts over non-empty file/dir
    fsname=NAME            set filesystem name in mtab

Debug levels are one or more comma separated words :
    upnperr, upnpall : increasing level of UPnP traces
    error, warn, info, debug : increasing level of djmount traces
    fuse : activates FUSE traces
    leak, leakfull : enable talloc leak reports at exit
' -d'  alone defaults to ' upnpall,debug,fuse,leak'  i.e. all traces.
