 **--dmas**
 This parameter is used to specify the assigned DMA device of a vhost device.
 Async vhost-user net driver will be used if --dmas is set. For example
---dmas [txd0@00:04.0,txd1@00:04.1] means use DMA channel 00:04.0 for vhost
-device 0 enqueue operation and use DMA channel 00:04.1 for vhost device 1
-enqueue operation.
+--dmas [txd0@00:04.0,txd1@00:04.1,rxd0@00:04.2,rxd1@00:04.3] means use
+DMA channel 00:04.0/00:04.2 for vhost device 0 enqueue/dequeue operation
+and use DMA channel 00:04.1/00:04.3 for vhost device 1 enqueue/dequeue
+operation. The index of the device corresponds to the socket file in order,
+that means vhost device 0 is created through the first socket file, vhost
+device 1 is created through the second socket file, and so on.
