  • NAME
      discover.conf -- configuration file format for discover(1)
  • Description


      Discover looks for configuration files in a configuration directory, containing a number of files.  These define the   system buses that should be scanned by default, those that should   never be scanned, and the URLs for hardware data   files beyond the local copy provided with the software.

      The file format is XML; the DTD     is provided with the Discover software, and can be used for informational or validation purposes.
  • Examples


      Establishing default buses to scan

       
      <?xml version="1.0"?> 

      <!DOCTYPE conffile SYSTEM "conffile.dtd">

      <conffile>
      <busscan scan="default">
      <bus name="ata"/>
      <bus name="pci"/>
      <bus name="pcmcia"/>
      <bus name="scsi"/>
      <bus name="usb"/>
      </busscan>
      </conffile>






      A more complex example



       
      <?xml version="1.0"?> 

      <!DOCTYPE conffile SYSTEM "conffile.dtd">

      <conffile>
      <busscan scan="default">
      <bus name="ata"/>
      <bus name="pci"/>
      <bus name="pcmcia"/>
      <bus name="usb"/>
      </busscan>
      <!-- My ancient SCSI card locks up when probed -->
      <busscan scan="never">
      <bus name="scsi"/>
      </busscan>
      <data-sources>
      <data-source url="http://www.example.com/discover/xfree86.xml"
      label="Updated XFree86 hardware information">
      </data-sources>
      </conffile>
