Subject: [PATCH] vddk: Small copyedits to README.VDDK
|
|
|
|
Clean up the sentence about LD_LIBRARY_PATH which could be
|
|
misconstrued to mean that we recommend setting this (we do not).
|
|
|
|
Remove "bugs" section which was wrong.
|
|
|
|
(cherry picked from commit 55c2a029692fc20bf4a7d4ae857e3609b45ec3dd)

You do NOT require VDDK to compile the plugin, and the plugin does not
|
|
contain any VMware code. You only need VDDK at runtime. The plugin
|
|
uses dlopen to load the library from a directory determined by the
|
|
-configuration parameter libdir (LD_LIBRARY_PATH or the standard shared
|
|
-library locations can also be used, although that approach is not
|
|
-recommended).

+configuration parameter libdir. It is NOT recommended to put VDDK in
|
|
+your regular library path (eg /usr/lib) because it contains components

After building nbdkit-vddk-plugin.so, read the man page to find out
|
|
how to use it (nbdkit-vddk-plugin(1)). You'll probably also want to
|
|
read the VDDK developer documentation.
