Most of the command-line options are identical to their QEMU counterparts. Perhaps Sphinx hxtool integration could be extended to extract documentation for individual command-line options so they can be shared. For now the qemu-storage-daemon simply refers to the qemu(1) man page where the command-line options are identical.
