Subject: [PATCH v4 08/17] pesto: Introduce stub configuration tool
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 14:42:08 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421044217.2500314-9-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260421044217.2500314-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
Build a new "pesto" binary, which will become the tool to update a running
passt/pasta's configuration. For now, we just build a stub binary which
sets up a basic environment, parses trivial command line options but does
nothing else.

+.B pesto

+
+\fIPATH\fR gives the path to the UNIX domain socket created by
+\fBpasst\fR or \fBpasta\fR. It should match the \fB-c\fR command line
+option given to that instance.
