   xen-list-images is a simple script which will display all the
  images which have been created in a given directory.
 
+  The script follows the same pattern as the other scripts, it
+ assumes that all images are stored beneath a prefix directory
+ in a layout such as this:
+
+   $dir/domains/vm01.my.flat/
+   $dir/domains/vm01.my.flat/disk.img
+   $dir/domains/vm01.my.flat/swap.img
+
+   $dir/domains/vm02.my.flat/
+   $dir/domains/vm02.my.flat/disk.img
+   $dir/domains/vm02.my.flat/swap.img
+
+  For each subdirectory found beneath $dir/domains the image will
+ be tested if:
+
+   1.  The disk.img file exists.
+   2.  The swap.img file exists.
+   3.  A configuration file /etc/xen/$name.cfg exists.
+
+  If these conditions are met the name will be output, along with
+ networking information.
