- * netwatch.c
+ * xen_netwatch.c
  * 
- * Watch for network interfaces needing frobbing.
+ * Watch for network interfaces changing state (IFF_UP), and call a standard
+ * script '/etc/xen/netwatch <ifname> up|down'. Logging from the netwatch
+ * daemon is written to '/var/xen/netwatch' -- other programs can therefore
+ * watch that file to take action on interface state changes.
+ * 
+ * Note that, apart from the names of the default action script and log file,
+ * this program is not actually Xen-dependent.
