Subject: Documenting VIRTUAL-RUNTIME variables
Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2024 15:51:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <93bfc62e-c92b-4aff-b06e-40bbcbd46d87@bootlin.com> (raw)

Greetings,

Following a warning from Tim (thanks!).

The VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_* variables do not appear in the YP manual variable 
index, and we shouldn't definitely address this.

However, I still hesitate between:

 1. Creating multiple entries, especially for the most frequent
    variables (VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager,
    VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_dev_manager...), and maybe for "VIRTUAL-RUNTIME" as
    a name prefix
 2. Creating just a generic "VIRTUAL-RUNTIME" entry for this common prefix.

I'm tempted to go for 1, but then I guess it opens to door to 
documenting most uses of this scheme.

Your opinions are welcome!
Thanks
Michael.
