ABOUT

   This script is invoked by xen-create-image after it has created and
  customised a new Xen guest.  It is responsible for creating the
  configuration file which Xen will use to start the instance.
 
   The configuration file will be created in the directory /etc/xen using
  a template file to determine how the configuration file should be
  created.
 
   By default the script will use /etc/xen-tools/xm.tmpl as its input.
 
 

INVOCATION

   This script will be invoked by the xen-create-image script, rather than
  directly.
 
   This is because it will expect to receive the values to insert into the
  output template in as environmental variables.
 
   You could execute it manually via a long command line, but that is
  error-prone and probably not useful:
 
 

    hostname=foo.my.flat ip=192.168.1.2 ... xm-create-xen-config \
      --output=/etc/xen --template=/etc/xen-tools/xm.tmpl
 
 

ARGUMENT PASSING

   This script will be invoked with a full copy of the arguments from
  xen-create-image in its environment, along with several command line
  arguments.
 
   This has several implications for customization.  If you wish to
  setup a new variable in the output template such as "foo=bar" you
  could update the script to include "${foo}", then invoke
  xen-create-image with this environmental variable set.
 
 

      $ foo=bar xen-create-image --hostname=test.my.flat ...
 
 

   The environment will be duplicated/inheritted by this script when
  it is executed, and your variable will be included in the output file.
 
   For details on the template file syntax please see the documentation
  for the "Text::Template" perl module.   (If you have the perldoc
  package installed you can read this with "perldoc Text::Template".)
