[Xen-API] tap-ctl commands

twice)

Hi,

I'm building a proof-of-concept NFS/vhd driver-domain backend using the new 
xapi <-> storage interface. I'm about to hook this up to tapdisk to get .vhd 
support however I can't seem to find a manpage for "tap-ctl".

Could someone remind me what tap-ctl runes are needed to:

* get a block device suitable for blkback (i.e. "attach" a VDI in xapi-speak)
* connect a .vhd to a blktap block device via tapdisk /or unpause a paused 
tapdisk (i.e. "activate" a VDI)
* disconnect a .vhd from a block device /or pause and flush buffers (i.e. 
"deactivate")
* remove the block device altogether (i.e. "detach")

Thanks,
Dave

PS for anyone who's interested the code is on github:

(the storage interface code is automatically generated)
