xenstore(1)

💖 xenstore — okay bestie, let's talk to Xenstore

So like, this is xenstore(1), a page from the Xen manual (yes, that Xen 🌸), and it's literally your group chat with the Xenstore. No cap.

✨ NAME ✨

xenstore — the way you interact with Xenstore 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

xenstore CMD ...

That's it. That's the whole vibe. You run xenstore with a CMD and then whatever args that command wants. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

A whole lil' set of utilities for interacting with Xenstore. Think of it as a toolbox, and every tool has its own manpage. Here's the roster, iykyk:

• xenstore-chmod(1) — sets the permissions of keys. Permission glow-up, basically 🔥
• xenstore-exists(1) — tests for the existence of a key. Is it there or is it giving nothing? 👀
• xenstore-list(1) — lists keys. Just the keys, bestie.
• xenstore-ls(1) — lists keys, values and permissions. The full picture, the whole main character moment ✨
• xenstore-read(1) — reads the value of a key. Receipts, literally.
• xenstore-rm(1) — removes keys. Gone. Deleted. Not me being dramatic 💀
• xenstore-watch(1) — watches for changes to keys or values. It's giving surveillance but make it helpful 👑
• xenstore-write(1) — adds or modifies keys and values. Glow-up arc for your keys 🦋
