This package contains command line utilities for interacting with XenStore.

XenStore is a shared database used for interdomain communication of configuration and status information. It is accessible to all domains running on the same Xen host. See https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XenStore for more information.

In the common case these tools are used by the Xen toolstack running in domain0 (or a driver domain) however they may also be used in a guest domain to support local scripting which wants to communicate via XenStore.
