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. Aside from the standard build tools, the build requires libtirpc and the command line utility m4 to generate the manpage documentation.

To build nvidia-persistenced and its manpage execute:

make

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

To install nvidia-persistenced and its manpage execute:

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. See init/README for more information.
