Shawn Hartsock 15f7be9a52 pyVmomi reStructured Text Documentation 
This external documentation for pyVmomi was generated using Googly Docs
(aka Google Standard Documentation) which renders very cleanly in
GitHub. Internal documentation for a class should be done in Sphinx
format because tools like pyCharm and Eclipse can use that documentation
as a hint for code completion.

Note: External docs as Googly Docs, internal docs as Sphinx.

vim.vm.FileLayoutEx

Detailed description of files that make up a virtual machine on disk. The file layout is broken into 4 major sections:
  • Configuration: Files stored in the configuration directory
  • Log: Files stored in the log directory
  • Disk: Files stored relative to a disk configuration file
  • Snapshot: Stored in the snapshot directory
  • Often the same directory is used for configuration, log, disk and snapshots.
