Subject: [PATCH 5/5] docs/tcg-plugins: add L2 arguments to cache docs
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2021 15:48:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210810134844.166490-6-ma.mandourr@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210810134844.166490-1-ma.mandourr@gmail.com>
cache plugin now allows optional L2 per-core cache emulation that can be
configured through plugin arguments, this commit adds this functionality
to the docs.
While I'm at it, I editted the bullet point for cache plugin to say:
contrib/plugins/cache.c
instead of
contrib/plugins/cache
to match other plugins.
