+#### **--device**=*host-device[:container-device][:permissions]*
+
+Add a host device to the <<container|pod>>. Optional *permissions* parameter
+can be used to specify device permissions by combining
+**r** for read, **w** for write, and **m** for **mknod**(2).
+
+Example: **--device=/dev/sdc:/dev/xvdc:rwm**.
+
+Note: if *host-device* is a symbolic link then it will be resolved first.
+The <<container|pod>> will only store the major and minor numbers of the host device.
+
+Podman may load kernel modules required for using the specified
+device. The devices that Podman will load modules for when necessary are:
+/dev/fuse.
