[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH v4 16/23] docs/man: fix xl(1) documentation for 'pci' operations
From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@xxxxxxxxxx> Currently the documentation completely fails to mention the existence of PCI_SPEC_STRING. This patch tidies things up, specifically clarifying that 'pci-assignable-add/remove' take <BDF> arguments where as 'pci-attach/detach' take <PCI_SPEC_STRING> arguments (which will be enforced in a subsequent patch).
