[PATCH 0/3] docs: replace master/slave with more accurate wording

Posted by Paolo Bonzini 4 years, 8 months ago

Usually front-end/back-end are used for the two vhost sides rather than
master/slave.  Use them in the documentation as they identify more
clearly what is going on (plus, the documentation was sometimes using
client/server instead).

Jag, would you mind doing the same for multiprocess too?

Hi Paolo,

Sure, I’ll change the references to master/slave terminology for multiprocess.

Thank you!
