💅 xenstore-watch(1) — the Xen one, bestie

Ok so picture this: it's giving xenstore-watch, straight out of the Xen manual pages, and it is literally here to sit and wait for Xenstore watch events. No cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

xenstore-watch — wait for Xenstore watch events 🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

xenstore-watch [OPTION]... [PATH]...

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe: you set Xenstore watches on the PATHs you give it, and then it prints out the path for every event that happens. That's it. That's the whole job. Main character energy, honestly. 👑

  • -h — shows you the usage info for xenstore-watch and then dips out of the program entirely. bye bestie 👋
  • -d depth — caps how many sub-directories below the PATHs you specified actually get watched. Think of it like this:
    • a depth of 0 watches only the specified nodes,
    • a depth of 1 watches the specified nodes and their direct children,
    • etc. etc. you get it, it keeps going like that. 🪆
⚠️ ok important!! using -d requires xenstored to support the Xenstore watch depth feature. If it doesn't support it, your -d usage gets rejected. no exceptions, periodt. 💀
  • -n NR — stops waiting after it's received NR watch events. like, "ok that's enough events for one day, I'm done." 🛑
