NVIDIA-PERSISTENCED SOURCE DOCUMENTATION

This document outlines the source code and build instructions for the NVIDIA Persistence Daemon, nvidia-persistenced. Information on how to use nvidia-persistenced is available in the driver README and via the manpage that is installed along with the driver or installed from this source package.

The daemon is controlled by an RPC interface that is generated by rpcgen. The files have been pre-generated for this source package to remove any dependency on rpcgen on the target system. The build otherwise only relies on the command line utility m4 to generate the manpage documentation, aside from the standard build tools.

To build nvidia-persistenced and its manpage, you can simply run:

make

This will generate all output files within a system-specific subdirectory of the '_out' directory.

To install nvidia-persistenced and its manpage, you can simply run:

make install

There are also a few init files included in the source distribution that may be used to start the NVIDIA Persistence Daemon on system startup. These files are provided as examples and may not install correctly out of the box. Please see init/README for more information.
