Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/0] Allow -readconfig to read from a pre-existing filedescriptor
Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 09:23:30 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1327530211-25614-1-git-send-email-ronniesahlberg@gmail.com> (raw)

List,

Please find attached a trivial patch to allow -readconfig to read from a pre-existing filedescriptor instead of a file off disk.

Syntax is '-readconfig fd:<n>' to read from filedescriptor <n>.

This is useful for example for libvirt which allow it to pass configuration data, including possibly sensitive such, into qemu without this data hitting the filesystem or a disk.

regards
ronnie sahlberg
