Subject: [PATCH 2/4] docs: Document a path for PV driver version information...
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2015 17:21:44 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1446830507-4233-3-git-send-email-paul.durrant@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1446830507-4233-1-git-send-email-paul.durrant@citrix.com>
...to be advertised by a guest.
For domain management purposes it is convenient to be able to see
PV driver version information in xenstore. The XAPI toolstack in
XenServer has always created a ~/drivers path for this purpose.
This patch documents that path and also adds a specification of how
it should be used.
