Subject: [PATCH v13 2/7] plugins: Add register write API
Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2025 09:15:42 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250619161547.1401448-3-rowanbhart@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250619161547.1401448-1-rowanbhart@gmail.com>
From: novafacing <rowanbhart@gmail.com>
This patch adds a function to the plugins API to allow plugins to write
register contents. It also moves the qemu_plugin_read_register function
so all the register-related functions are grouped together in the file.
