samba - Oct 2019 - vfs objects

Is the ?important" vfs objects parameter documented in a man page anywhere?
It appears in the man pages of several vfs modules, but never fully documented
that I could find.  Apparently it once was from a now dead link

It is mentioned in 'man smb.conf':

vfs objects (S)

 ??? This parameter specifies the backend names which are used for Samba 
VFS I/O operations. By default, normal disk I/O operations are used but 
these can be overloaded with one or more VFS objects.

 ??? Default: vfs objects 
 ??? Example: vfs objects = extd_audit recycle

There are quite a few 'vfs-*' man pages, but they do not seem to listed 
anywhere, but, from git, this is a full list:

vfs_acl_xattr?????? vfs_prealloc
vfs_aio_fork??????? vfs_preopen
vfs_aio_pthread???? vfs_readahead
vfs_audit?????????? vfs_readonly
vfs_btrfs?????????? vfs_recycle
vfs_cacheprime????? vfs_shadow_copy2
vfs_cap???????????? vfs_shadow_copy
vfs_catia?????????? vfs_shell_snap
vfs_ceph??????????? vfs_snapper
vfs_ceph_snapshots? vfs_streams_depot
vfs_commit????????? vfs_streams_xattr
vfs_crossrename???? vfs_syncops
vfs_default_quota?? vfstest
vfs_dirsort???????? vfs_time_audit
vfs_extd_audit????? vfs_tsmsm
vfs_fake_perms????? vfs_unityed_media
vfs_fileid????????? vfs_virusfilter
vfs_fruit?????????? vfs_worm
vfs_full_audit????? vfs_xattr_tdb
vfs_glusterfs?????? vfs_zfsacl
vfs_glusterfs_fuse? vfs_gpfs
vfs_linux_xfs_sgid? vfs_media_harmony
vfs_nfs4acl_xattr?? vfs_acl_tdb

If you have bash-completion-extras (or the equivalent for your bistro)
installed, you should be able to type ?man vfs? and hit tab completion to see
your list of available vfs objects.
