The attached patch adds a new text file docs/misc/xenstore.txt which describes the actual protocol implemented by xenstored. This was reverse-engineered from the actual code in tools/xenstore. I didn't bother making any automatic arrangements to ensure that the implemented and documented protocols are kept in step (for example, automatic code generation, etc.) The protocol is rather messy unfortunately and unsuitable for an xdr approach, and in any case is not likely to change very quickly. Also in this patch are a couple of comments for xenstored_core.c which help clarify the behaviour of some payload parsing helper functions. Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com>
