Norman Feske 8243329ad4 os: Move Genode::Config into 'config' library Originally, the convenience utility for accessing a process configuration came in the form of a header file. But this causes aliasing problems if multiple compilation units access the config while the configuration gets dynamically updated. Moving the implementation of the accessor to the singleton object into a library solves those problems.		2013-09-23 14:25:58 +02:00

README

The 'rom_tar' service obtains a TAR archive via a ROM connection and, in turn,
provides the files contained in the TAR archive as individual ROM sessions.
The name of the TAR archive must be specified via the 'name' attribute of
an 'archive' tag, for example:

! <config>
!   <archive name="archive.tar"/>
! </config>

The backing store for the dataspaces exported via ROM sessions is accounted
on the 'rom_tar' service (not on its clients) to make the use of 'rom_tar'
transparent to the regular users of core's ROM service. Hence, this service
must not be used by multiple clients that do not trust each other.
