Re: [Xen-devel] xenstore -- read UUID

["Derek Murray" <Derek.Murray@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dinesh,

In what context are you trying to run this code? You say that you want
to read the UUID from Dom0, but xen/common/memory.c is part of the
hypervisor (and not Dom0). If you try to compile that code into
xen/common/memory.c, it will fail, because building the hypervisor
does not include the user-space headers (i.e. the contents of
/usr/include/).

The hypervisor has (almost) no knowledge about XenStore, and so it
would be very difficult to access XenStore from there. However, if you
want to access this information in Dom0, your code should work in a
user-space application.

Could you provide more details about what you are trying to do?

Regards,

Derek Murray.
