From 587ed6be0b6331b11169da8846b8442840d5428c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Corey Bryant Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:19:34 -0400 Subject: qemu-config: Add new -add-fd command line option This option can be used for passing file descriptors on the command line. It mirrors the existing add-fd QMP command which allows an fd to be passed to QEMU via SCM_RIGHTS and added to an fd set. This can be combined with commands such as -drive to link file descriptors in an fd set to a drive: qemu-kvm -add-fd fd=3,set=2,opaque="rdwr:/path/to/file" -add-fd fd=4,set=2,opaque="rdonly:/path/to/file" -drive file=/dev/fdset/2,index=0,media=disk This example adds dups of fds 3 and 4, and the accompanying opaque strings to the fd set with ID=2. qemu_open() already knows how to handle a filename of this format. qemu_open() searches the corresponding fd set for an fd and when it finds a match, QEMU goes on to use a dup of that fd just like it would have used an fd that it opened itself.
