-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.
-
-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.

-
-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'.
-
-Patches
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Submit patches to the mailing list:
-http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs
-and CC to rjones@redhat.com
-
-I18N
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-We support i18n (gettext anyhow) in the library.
-
-However many messages come from the daemon, and we don't translate
-those at the moment.  One reason is that the appliance generally has
-all locale files removed from it, because they take up a lot of space.
-So we'd have to readd some of those, as well as copying our PO files
-into the appliance.
-
-Debugging messages are never translated, since they are intended for
-the programmers.
