Qemu, sharing folder to the guest.

Hello forum,
on my way to set up a newer machine I decided to switch from vmware to qemu.
I would like to mount the share with 9p_virtio, but I haven't find a complete detail about to set that up. So the kernel includes the modules and I guessed that I have to load the modules. I setup the win-virtio.iso in the windows 10 guest, so scsi and other drivers are ready,

I don't get the way to prepare the host to deal with share data. Definitely I don't want let the guest access  outside the machine, as much as I disable any protection in favor of better performances. Unfortunately the host needs to access the internet for several reasons during a session with the VM.

The data should be available from both party at the same time, I just feel a bit of difference when I need to share the clipboard contents, compared with the vmware setup. Currently I have obtained to share by samba definition, but unfortunately I miss to add one more folder and the symlink are not accepted, if added later.

Re: Qemu, sharing folder to the guest.

I admit is a dumb question. I found the answers on the wiki. But I have an exception:
How to translate the dnsmasq command into the equivalent dhcpd one ?
E.G

#  dnsmasq --interface=br0 --bind-interfaces --dhcp-range=172.20.0.2,172.20.255.254

Because I have already a dhcpd server running.
