-the entry in the fw_cfg file directory exposed to the guest.
+Add named fw_cfg entry with contents from file @var{file}.

+Add named fw_cfg entry with contents from string @var{str}.

+The terminating NUL character of the contents of @var{str} will not be
+included as part of the fw_cfg item data. To insert contents with

+The fw_cfg entries are passed by QEMU through to the guest.
