+Reading/writing the schemata file
+---------------------------------
+Reading the schemata file will show the state of all resources
+on all domains. When writing you only need to specify those values
+which you wish to change. E.g.
+
+# cat schemata
+L3DATA:0=fffff;1=fffff;2=fffff;3=fffff
+L3CODE:0=fffff;1=fffff;2=fffff;3=fffff
+# echo "L3DATA:2=3c0;" > schemata
+# cat schemata
