Converting A Daemon to MGMTD
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+4. [otherwise] Remove CLI handler file from SOURCES in daemon (e.g in :file:`staticd/subdir.am`)
+5. Add YANG module description into array defined in ``mgmtd/mgmt_main.c`` (see :ref:`mgmtd-config-write`).
+6. Initialize the CLI handlers inside :code:`mgmt_vty_init` in :file:`mgmtd/mgmt_vty.c`.
+7. Direct ``vtysh`` to send CLI commands to ``mgmtd`` by modifying

+ ``#define``'d (e.g., ``#define VTYSH_STATICD 0x08000``) below this there are
+ groupings, replace all the uses of the daemons bit with ``VTYSH_MGMTD``
+ instead so that the CLI commands get properly routed to ``mgmtd`` rather than

Back-End Interface:

+CLI Config Write Handlers (:code:`cli_show`)
+--------------------------------------------
+
+To support writing out the CLI configuration file the northbound API defines a
+2 callbacks (:code:`cli_show` and :code:`cli_show_end`). Pointers to these
+callbacks used to live side-by-side in a daemons :code:`struct frr_yang_module_info`,
+with the daemons back-end configuration and operational state callbacks
+(normally in a file named `<daemon>_nb.c`).
+
+However, these 2 functionalities need to be split up now. The *frontend* config
+writing callbacks (:code:`cli_show`) should now be linked into ``mgmtd`` while
+the *backend* config and oper-state callbacks (e.g., :code:`create`,
+:code:`modify`, etc) should continue to be linked into the daemon.
+
+So you will need to define 2 :code:`struct frr_yang_module_info` arrays.
+
+1. The existing array remains in the same place in the daemon, but with all the
+ :code:`cli_show` handlers removed.
+
+2. The removed :code:`cli_show` handlers should be added to a new
+ :code:`struct frr_yang_module_info` array. This second array should be
+ included in the same file that includes that actual function pointed to by
+ the the :code:`cli_show` callbacks (i.e., the file is compiled into
+ ``mgmtd``).
+
+ This new :code:`struct frr_yang_module_info` array is the one to be included
+ in mgmtd in `mgmt_yang_modules` inside ``mgmtd/mgmt_main.c``.
+
+Back-End XPATH mappings
+-----------------------
In order for ``mgmtd`` to direct configuration to your daemon you need to add
some XPATH mappings to ``mgmtd/mgmt_be_adapter.c``. These XPATHs determine which
configuration changes get sent over the *back-end* interface to your daemon.
+There are 2 arrays to update the first for config support and the second for
+operational state.
