[PATCHv2 3/3] qemu: Process new 'append' attribute for char dev with output to a file

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



By default, QEMU truncates serial file on open. Sometimes, it could be weird -
for example, when we are trying to investigate some event, which occured several
restarts ago. This patch adds an ability to preserve previous content.
