Down the road, I want to add virDomainSnapshotGetParent, and use
the new API rather than xml scraping; but this virsh command can
be implemented even without the new API.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSnapshotParent): New command.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-parent): Document it.
Sometimes, full XML is too much; since most snapshot commands
operate on a snapshot name, there should be an easy way to get
at the current snapshot's name. For example:
virsh snapshot-revert dom `virsh snapshot-current dom --name`
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSnapshotCurrent): Add an option.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-current): Document it.
The description of the list command seemed to suggest that it could
take a set of domains as an argument, which is not correct in the
current HEAD. If virsh list is intended to take a list of domains,
then this patch should be NAK'd and a bug opened against virsh list.

v2:
Change language to include transient domains
Osier pointed out that transient domains are not defined, so what I
had originally proposed wasn't quite correct.
Rename the existing --current flag to the new name --active,
while adding a new flag --current to expose the new
VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT flag of virDomainGetVcpusFlags.
For backwards compability, the output does not change (even
though the label "current" no longer matches the spelling of
the option that would trigger that number in isolation), and
we accept "--current --live" as an undocumented synonym for
"--active --live" to avoid breaking any existing clients.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdVcpucount): Add --active flag, and rearrange
existing flag handling to expose VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT support.
* tools/virsh.pod (vcpucount): Document this.
Now you can edit a saved state file even if you forgot to grab
a dumpxml file prior to saving a domain. Plus, in-place editing
feels so much nicer.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSaveImageDumpxml, cmdSaveImageDefine)
(cmdSaveImageEdit): New commands.
* tools/virsh.pod (save-image-dumpxml, save-image-define)
(save-image-edit): Document them.
Also, migrate was missing documentation for the --xml option
added in commit ec5301cb.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSave, cmdRestore): Add xml argument.
* tools/virsh.pod (save, restore, migrate): Document it.
Wire up the new flag to several virsh commands. Also, the
'dump' command had undocumented flags.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSave, cmdManagedSave, cmdDump, cmdStart)
(cmdRestore): Add new flag.
* tools/virsh.pod (save, managedsave, dump, start, restore):
Document flags.
If the domain has managed save image, and --managed-save is
not specified, then it fails with an error telling the user
that a managed save image still exists.
If the domain has managed save image, and --managed-save is
specified, it invokes virDomainUndefineFlags. If
virDomainUndefineFlags fails, then it tries to remove the managed
save image using virDomainManagedSaveRemove first, with
invoking virDomainUndefine following. (For compatibility between
new virsh with this patch and older libvirt without this patch).
Similarly if the domain has no managed save image. See the codes for
detail.
NOTE: Have not removing the codes checking if the domain is running
in function "cmdUndefine", it will go along with qemu driver's fix
(allow to undefine a running domain).
* tools/virsh.c: new column "Managed save" for "cmdDominfo".
* tools/virsh.pod: Update document of "managedsave" to tell one can
use "dominfo" to query whether a domain has any managed save image.
We can make the virsh migrate UI friendlier by supplying the
missing bit automatically instead of erroring out when requesting
--tunnelled without --p2p.
* tools/virsh.c (doMigrate): Make --p2p optional when using
--tunnelled.
* tools/virsh.pod (migrate): Tweak wording accordingly.
"optional" is not a very good meta-syntactic construct in our man
page. I scrubbed this, and additionally improved some documentation
on mutually exclusive options. For example,
[[--live] [--config] | [--current]]
implies a set of optional flags, where within the set you can have
either --current or a choice of 0, 1, or both --live and --config.
* tools/virsh.pod: Use "[name]" rather than "optional name" for
optional arguments.
This adds four options for virsh command attach-disk.
--cache option allows user to specify cache mode of disk device
from virsh command line when attaching a disk device.
--serial option allows user to specify serial string of disk device
from virsh command line when attaching a disk device.
--shareable option allows user to specify whether the disk device is
shareable between domains when attaching a disk device from virsh
command line.
--address option allows user to specify address of disk device when
attaching a disk device.
This patch adds the --current option to "virsh setvcpus"
command. Currently "virsh setvcpus" command supports
"--live" and "--config" , but "--current" option.
From view of consistency, it's reasonable to support
"--current" option too.
When --current is specified, it affects a "current"
domain.

Destroy has a rather negative English connotation. Try to reduce
the impact, so newbies aren't as scared to use it.
* tools/virsh.c: Tweak all destroy documentation.
* tools/virsh.pod: Likewise.
This patch teaches "virsh vcpupin" command to query if no list
is given. Its feature is to show CPU affinity information in more
reader-friendly way.
# virsh vcpupin VM --config
VCPU: CPU Affinity
----------------------------------
0: 1-6,9-20
1: 10
2: 5,9-11,15-20
3: 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15
When cpulist is omitted, vcpu number is optional. When vcpu number is
provided, information of only specified vcpu is displayed.

If an application is using libvirt + KVM as a piece of its
internal infrastructure to perform a specific task, it can
be desirable to guarentee the VM dies when the virConnectPtr
disconnects from libvirtd. This ensures the app can't leak
any VMs it was using. Adding VIR_DOMAIN_START_AUTOKILL as
a flag when starting guests enables this to be done.
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: All VIR_DOMAIN_START_AUTOKILL
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Support automatic killing of guests
upon connection close
* tools/virsh.c: Add --autokill flag to 'start' and 'create'
commands
Producing an xml file just for name and description fields is
overkill; this makes life easier from virsh.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSnapshotCreateAs): New command.
(snapshotCmds): Install it.
* tools/virsh.pod: Document it.
When resetting vcpupin setting, we have to specify all host physical
cpus as a cpulist parameter of virsh vcpupin command. It's a little
tedious.
This patch changes to allow to receive the special keyword 'r' as a cpulist
parameter of virsh vcpupin command when resetting vcpupin setting.
If you set the following:
# virsh vcpupin VM 0 r
the vcpu0 will be pinned to all physical cpus.

When using vcpupin command, we have to speficy comma-separated list as cpulist,
but this is tedious in case the number of phsycal cpus is large.
This patch improves this by introducing special markup "-" and "^" which are
similar to XML schema of "cpuset" attribute.
The example:
# virsh vcpupin Guest 0 0-15,^8
is identical to
# virsh vcpupin Guest 0 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13,14,15
NOTE: The expression is sequentially evaluated, so "0-15,^8" is not identical
to "^8,0-15".

Define two new virsh commands:
* blockpull: Perform block pull operations (incremental plus start
and stop continuous streams)
* blockpullinfo: Retrieve progress info for continuous block pull
Share print_job_progress() with the migration code.
* tools/virsh.c: implement the new commands

This patch adds the new option (--live, --config and --current) to
"virsh vcpupin" command. The behavior of above aption is the same as
that of "virsh setmem", "virsh setvcpus", and whatnot.
When the --config option is specified, the command affects a persistent
domain, while --live option is specified, it affects a running (live) domain.
The --current option cannot be used with --config or --live at the same
time, and when --current is specified, it affects a "current" domain.
I intentionally set things up so 'virsh help interface' lists
commands in alphabetical order, but 'man virsh' lists them in
topical order; this matches our practice on some other commands.
* tools/virsh.pod: Document all iface commands.
* tools/virsh.c (ifaceCmds): Sort.
The new flags allow to pick current state, config or the live
parameter, with current being the existing API default (0).
This also hooks this to --config, --live, --current parameters for
the memtune virsh command
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: defines the new flags
* tools/virsh.c: adds support at virsh level
* tools/virsh.pod: updates virsh documentation
Based on a smaller patch developed by Moritoshi Oshiro:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693963
* tools/virsh.pod (freecell): Mention all, and clarify that
optional cellno requires --cellno.
This patch adds the new options (--live, --config, and --current) to
"virsh setmaxmem" command. The behavior of above options is the same
as that of "virsh setmem". When the --config option is specified, a
modification is effective for the persistent domain, while the --live
option is specified, a modification is effective for an active
domain. The --current option is specified, it affects a current
domain.

This patch adds the new option (--current) to the "virsh setmem" command.
When --current option is specified, it affects a "current" domain.
The word "current" denotes that if a domain is running, it affects
a running domain only; otherwise it affects a persistent domain.
