xenstore-read(1)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Hi bestie, welcome to the xenstore-read(1) manual page 💖. This is the Xen manual page for xenstore-read, the little command whose whole job is reading Xenstore values. That's the vibe, that's the moment, periodt ✨.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

xenstore-read [OPTION]... [PATH]...

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

xenstore-read reads the values of one or more Xenstore PATHs. Plural paths, plural values, main character energy only 🌟.

The options are lowkey listed right here in the description, so let's give them their moment:

• -p — prefix the value with the key name. It's giving little name tag 🎀.
• -R — read the raw value and skip escaping non-printable characters (\x..). Raw and unbothered, no cap 💀.

🐛 BUGS 🐛

Found a bug? Send it to xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org 📬. Also peep https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Reporting_Bugs_against_Xen_Project for how to send bug reports. The wiki is literally giving "how to report bugs correctly," and we respect it 🫶.
