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.
