[Devel] Status of vzctl module support

[Dustin Lundquist]

Hi All,

I discovered vzctl's module support while running strace and so far has 
a working module for the create action that can parse additional 
arguments and provides a custom vps_create action to allow specifying a 
template url and retieve the image remotely. So I have a few questions:

Module ecosystem: What is the long term plan with vzctl's module 
support? Does anyone know if Parallels uses this functionality in 
Virtuozzo? Are their other any publicly available modules?

Module internals: What was the intended use of alloc_data(), free_data() 
and passing a data_param pointer to and from the module: was this so 
modules could share internal data structures? Does anyone maintain a 
central accounting of module id and get_opts param id, if so how can I 
obtain one? Is there any other documention outside the vzctl source for 
this interface?

Thanks,
