The file is used only in a VM with PCI devices attached. Intended for use with problematic device drivers. +- In NetVMs/ProxyVMs, scripts placed in `/rw/config/network-hooks.d` will be ran when configuring Qubes interfaces. For each script, the `command`, `vif`, `vif_type` and `ip` is passed as arguments (see `/etc/xen/scripts/vif-route-qubes`). For example, consider an PV AppVM `work` with IP `10.137.0.100` and `sys-firewall` as NetVM. Assuming it's Xen domain id is arbitrary `12` then, the following script located at `/rw/config/network-hooks.d/hook-100.sh` in `sys-firewall`: + ~~~ + #!/bin/bash + + command="$1" + vif="$2" + vif_type="$3" + ip="$4" + + if [ "$ip" == '10.137.0.100' ]; then + case "$command" in + online) + ip route add 192.168.0.100 via 10.137.0.100 + ;; + offline) + ip route del 192.168.0.100 + ;; + esac + fi + ~~~ + + will be executed with arguments `online vif12.0 vif 10.137.0.100` when starting `work`. Please note that in case of HVM, the script will be called twice - once with vif_type `vif`, then with vif_type `vif_ioemu` (and different interface names). As long as the ioemu interface exists, it should be preferred (up to the hook script). When VM decide to use PV interface (vif_type `vif`), the ioemu one will be unplugged. + Note that scripts need to be executable (chmod +x) to be used. Also, take a look at [bind-dirs](/doc/bind-dirs) for instructions on how to easily modify arbitrary system files in an AppVM and have those changes persist.
