Subject: Add a generic interface for accepting backup manifest files.
X-Git-Tag: stable-10.2.0~209
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5bb569f29cd9780872eb212fc5a6dda9d85d2711;p=thirdparty%2Fopen-vm-tools.git

Add a generic interface for accepting backup manifest files.

The interface provided by VMX to allow VMTools to notify it that
there is a backup manifest file to be transferred from the guest
is specific to Windows guests.  A more generic interface is being
implemented to enable backup manifest files for Linux guests.  A
new vmbackup event is added for passing to vmx the guest's path
for the manifest file, along with code for handling the event.
