-PLEASE LOOK AT THE TOP OF EACH FILE BEFORE EDITING TO SEE WHETHER IT
-IS AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED OR NOT.
-
-Adding a new action
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-All action functions are generated automatically, so there are only
-two files you need to edit:
-
-(1) src/generator.ml: Add your new action, parameters, description,
-etc. to the big list called 'functions' at the top of this file.
-
-(2) Edit/create a C file in daemon/ subdirectory which implements your
-'do_action' function. Take a look at one of the numerous examples
-there.
-
-You will need to run src/generator.ml (from the top directory) which
-regenerates all the auto-generated files, and then continue with the
-ordinary build process.
-
-Formatting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Try to use GNU / Emacs default formatting, following the convention
-used elsewhere in the source.
-
-Please make sure that the code compiles without warnings.
-
-Please test any changes.
-
-Directories
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-daemon/
- The daemon that runs inside the guest and carries out actions.
-
-examples/
- The examples.
-
-fish/
- Guestfish (the command-line program / shell)
-
-images/
- Some guest images to test against. These are gzipped to save
- space. You have to unzip them before use.
-
- Also contains some files used by the test suite.
-
-m4/
- M4 macros used by autoconf.
-

- OCaml bindings.
-
-perl/
- Perl bindings.
-
-python/
- Python bindings.
-
-ruby/
- Ruby bindings.
-
-src/
- Source code to the C library.
- Also contains the crucial generator program.
-
-Debugging
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-It's a good idea to use guestfish to try out new commands.
-
-Debugging the daemon is a problem because it runs inside a minimal
-qemu environment. However you can print messages from the daemon, and
-they will show up if you use 'guestfish -v'.
