+
+Change the pinning of a domain IOThread to host physical CPUs. In order
+to retrieve a list of all IOThreads, use B<iothreadsinfo>. To pin an
+I<iothread> specify the I<cpulist> desired for the IOThread ID as listed
+in the B<iothreadsinfo> output.
+
+I<cpulist> is a list of physical CPU numbers. Its syntax is a comma
+separated list and a special markup using '-' and '^' (ex. '0-4', '0-3,^2') can
+also be allowed. The '-' denotes the range and the '^' denotes exclusive.
+If you want to reset iothreadpin setting, that is, to pin an I<iothread>
+to all physical cpus, simply specify 'r' as a I<cpulist>.
+
+If I<--live> is specified, affect a running guest. If the guest is not running,
+an error is returned.
+If I<--config> is specified, affect the next boot of a persistent guest.
+If I<--current> is specified or I<--live> and I<--config> are not specified,
+affect the current guest state.
+Both I<--live> and I<--config> flags may be given if I<cpulist> is present,
+but I<--current> is exclusive.
+If no flag is specified, behavior is different depending on hypervisor.
+
+B<Note>: The expression is sequentially evaluated, so "0-15,^8" is
+identical to "9-14,0-7,15" but not identical to "^8,0-15".
