[PATCH v1] tools/init-xenstore-domain: fix description of --param
Posted by Olaf Hering 3 years ago
The string is for the binary within the domain, not for the domain itself.

Fixes commit 83c365e6395f39c7ff91785b400682173d5e5d04

Sorry, that is not true.

Just because the Mini-OS based xenstore stubdom doesn't need any other
parameters but the xenstore ones doesn't mean that this is true for all
possible xenstore domains.

The parameters passed via --params are just passed on to the domain.
How the domain is filtering out parameters not meant for xenstore is
not relevant here.
