Back-End XPATH mappings
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In order for ``mgmtd`` to direct configuration to your daemon you need to add
In order for ``mgmtd`` to direct YANG modeled data to your daemon you should 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.
YANG modeled data (e.g., config changes) get sent over the *back-end* interface
to your daemon. There are 4 arrays to possibly update: configuration,
operational, notification, and RPC. You only need to add entries to the array
that you require mapping for.
Additionally the back-end client can specify these XPATH mappings when it
first connects to mgmtd using it's initial ``SUBSCRIBE`` message.
NOTE: the notif array (``be_client_notif_xpaths``), is a slightly different from
the other 3 types (config, oper and rpc) in that it maps xpaths the back-end
client wishes to *receive* notifications for, not the ones it may generate.
Normally a back-end client is generating notifications; however, mgmtd supports
back-end clients also "subscribing" to receive these notifications as well from
other back-end clients through notif_xpath maps.

Notification Map Example
""""""""""""""""""""""""
There are no current back-end daemons that wish to receive other back-end
notifications so the array is empty. This may change in the future, and of
course any back-end daemon can utilize the connect (``BeSubscribeReq``) messages
as well.
