Description Lingfei Kong 2014-12-18 10:53:48 UTC
Description of problem:
I can find the following line in 'help ping-daemon':
This is a test probe into the guestfs daemon running inside the hypervisor.

In fact the guestfs daemon exist in the libguestfs appliance, this may lead misunderstanding when understand this API, as a user, mostly we call host as the hypervisor, so the correct description should be:
This is a test probe into the guestfs daemon running inside libguestfs appliance.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libguestfs-1.28.1-1.14.el7


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
#guestfish help ping-daemon
NAME
        ping-daemon - ping the guest daemon

SYNOPSIS
         ping-daemon

DESCRIPTION
        This is a test probe into the guestfs daemon running inside the
        hypervisor. Calling this function checks that the daemon responds to the
        ping message, without affecting the daemon or attached block device(s)
        in any other way.


Actual results:
As above


Expected results:
correcy 'hypervisor' to 'appliance'

Verified with libguestfs-1.28.1-1.29.el7.

Step to verify:
1. # guestfish help ping-daemon
NAME
    ping-daemon - ping the guest daemon

SYNOPSIS
     ping-daemon

DESCRIPTION
    This is a test probe into the guestfs daemon running inside the
    libguestfs appliance. Calling this function checks that the daemon
    responds to the ping message, without affecting the daemon or attached
    block device(s) in any other way.


"hypervisor" is replaced with "libguestfs appliance". So fixed.
