+=head1 NAME
+
+xend-config.sxp - Xen daemon configuration file
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The xend(1) program requires xend-config.sxp to specify operating
+parameters which determine the behavior of the daemon at runtime.
+
+The parameters are specified in S-expression format. See the example
+configuration file in I</etc/xen/xend-config.sxp> for details.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+The following lists the daemon configuration parameters:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item I<logfile>
+
+The location of the file to record runtime log messages. Defaults to
+I</var/log/xend.log>.
+
+=item I<loglevel>
+
+Filters out messages below the specified level. Possible values are
+DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL. Defaults to I<DEBUG>.
+
+=item I<xend-http-server>
+
+A boolean value that tells xend whether or not to start the http
+stream socket management server. Defaults to I<no>.
+
+=item I<xend-unix-server>
+
+A boolean value that tells xend whether or not to start the unix
+domain socket management server. This is required for the CLI tools
+to operate. Defaults to I<yes>.
+
+=item I<xend-relocation-server>
+
+A boolean value that tells xend whether or not to start the relocation
+server. This is required for cross-machine migrations. Defaults to
+I<no>.
+
+=item I<xend-unix-path>
+
+The location of the unix domain socket the xend-unix-server will use
+to communicate with the management tools. Defaults to
+I</var/lib/xend/xend-socket>.
+
+=item I<xend-port>
+
+The port that will be used by the http management server. Defaults to
+I<8000>.
+
+=item I<xend-relocation-port>
+
+The port that will be used by the relocation server. Defaults to
+I<8002>.
+
+=item I<xend-address>
+
+The address to which the http management server will bind. Defaults
+to I<''> which means "all interfaces".
+
+=item I<xend-relocation-address>
+
+The address to which the relocation server will bind. Defaults to
+I<''> which means "all interfaces".
+
+=item I<console-limit>
+
+The kilobyte buffer limit that will be enforced by the console server.
+This limit is set per-domain, and is needed to prevent a single domain
+from overwhelming the console server with massive amounts of data.
+Defaults to I<1024>.
+
+=item I<network-script>
+
+The name of the script in I</etc/xen/scripts> that will be run to
+setup the networking environment. This can be any name, but in
+general is either I<network-bridge> or I<network-route>.
+
+=item I<vif-script>
+
+The name of the script in I</etc/xen/scripts> that will be run to
+setup a virtual interface when it is created or destroyed. This needs
+to (in general) work in unison with the I<network-script>.
+
+=item I<dom0-min-mem>
+
+This specifies the minimum number of megabytes that will be reserved
+for Domain0. If this value is positive, Domain0 will be automatically
+ballooned down to this limit to make space for new domains. If this
+is set to 0, Domain0 will not be automatically ballooned.
+
+=item I<dom0-cpus>
+
+This specifies the number of CPUs that Domain0 will be allowed to use.
+If the value is 0, all available CPUs will be used by Domain0.
+
+=item I<enable-dump>
+
+A boolean value that tells xend whether or not core dumps of guest
+domains should be saved when a crash occurrs. Defaults to I<no>.

+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+An example configuration with relocation enabled for the local network:
+
+=over 4
+
+ (xend-relocation-server yes)
+ (xend-relocation-address 192.168.1.1)
+ (network-script network-bridge)
+ (vif-script vif-bridge)
+ (dom0-min-mem 0)
+ (dom0-cpus 0)
+
+=back
+
+=head1 CAVEATS
+
+Note that relocation is currently unsecured and is very dangerous if
+left enabled. No authentication is performed, and very little sanity
+checking takes place. Enable at your own risk.
