Subject: [PATCH v7 1/7] docs/man: modify xl(1) in preparation for naming of assignable devices
Date: Tue,  5 Jan 2021 17:46:36 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210105174642.2754-2-paul@xen.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210105174642.2754-1-paul@xen.org>

From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@amazon.com>

A subsequent patch will introduce code to allow a name to be specified to
'xl pci-assignable-add' such that the assignable device may be referred to
by than name in subsequent operations.
