HYPERV(4)

📦 in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is hyperv(4) — the Hyper-V guest nexus device. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

hyperv0 at pvbus?

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The hyperv driver does the iconic setup work: it performs Synthetic Interrupt Controller initialization, sets up hypercalls, and provides access to VMBus services required by paravirtualized devices such as disk and network interfaces. 💅

It also gives access to the Key-Value Pair exchange interface via pvbus(4). 🎀 All keys are associated to one of several key pools: Auto, Guest, External or Guest/Parameters. It’s possible to modify values of keys in the Auto pool as well as set new keys in the Guest pool with hostctl(8). The Host provides its read-only keys in the External and Guest/Parameters pools. 👑
