NAME

xenstore-watch - wait for Xenstore watch events

SYNOPSIS

xenstore-watch [OPTION]... [PATH]...

DESCRIPTION

Set Xenstore watches to the specified PATHs and print the path for each event happening.

Show the usage information for xenstore-watch and exit the program.
Limit the number of sub-directories below the specified PATHs to be watched. A depth of 0 will watch only the specified nodes, a depth of 1 will watch the specified nodes and their direct children, etc.

Using this option requires xenstored to support the Xenstore watch depth feature. In case it is not supported, the -d usage will be rejected.

Stop waiting after having received NR watch events.
