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>

Authors

       Josh Bressers, John R. Daily, and G. Branden Robinson developed the current  implementation  of  Discover
       for Progeny Linux Systems.

       The Linux implementation of the system-dependent interfaces is derived from detect, by MandrakeSoft SA.
