HYPERV(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual HYPERV(4)
NAME
hyperv - Hyper-V guest nexus device
SYNOPSIS
hyperv0 at pvbus?
DESCRIPTION
hyperv driver performs Synthetic Interrupt Controller initialization,
sets up hypercalls, and provides access to VMBus services required by
paravirtualized devices such as disk and network interfaces.
An access is also provided to the Key-Value Pair exchange interface via
pvbus(4). All keys are associated to one of several key pools: Auto,
Guest, External or Guest/Parameters. It's possible to modify values of
keys in the Auto pool as well as set new keys in the Guest pool with
hostctl(8). The Host provides its read-only keys in External and
Guest/Parameters pools.
