+Creates a TLS anonymous credentials object, which can be used to provide
+TLS support on network backends. The @option{id} parameter is a unique
+ID which network backends will use to access the credentials. The
+@option{endpoint} is either @option{server} or @option{client} depending
+on whether the QEMU network backend that uses the credentials will be
+acting as a client or as a server. If @option{verify-peer} is enabled
+(the default) then once the handshake is completed, the peer credentials
+will be verified, though this is a no-op for anonymous credentials.
+
+The @var{dir} parameter tells QEMU where to find the credential
+files. For server endpoints, this directory may contain a file
+@var{dh-params.pem} providing diffie-hellman parameters to use
+for the TLS server. If the file is missing, QEMU will generate
+a set of DH parameters at startup. This is a computationally
+expensive operation that consumes random pool entropy, so it is
+recommended that a persistent set of parameters be generated
+upfront and saved.
