+ When validating an x509 certificate received over a TLS connection,
+ the hostname that the NBD client used to connect will be checked
+ against information in the server provided certificate. Sometimes
+ it might be required to override the hostname used to perform this
+ check. For example, if the NBD client is using a tunnel from localhost
+ to connect to the remote server, the `--tls-hostname` option should
+ be used to set the officially expected hostname of the remote NBD
+ server. This can also be used if accessing NBD over a UNIX socket
+ where there is no inherent hostname available. This is only permitted
+ when acting as a NBD client with the `--list` option.
