28 hostinfo-test - make or test hostinfo requests from a virtual machine
32 hostinfo-test [--options]
36 I<Note:> It only makes sense to use this command from inside
37 a guest (virtual machine).
39 This command is used to make/test hostinfo requests. You can
40 use this to test that the hostinfo system is working end-to-end.
42 On its own, the command will make a simple 'ping' request, just
43 to check that the path from the guest to the C<hostinfod> (daemon)
44 inside the host is working:
51 error: no response ping request
61 This command returns 0 if the test succeeded, or 1 if the test failed
62 or there was an error.
