managedsave: prohibit use on transient domains
Transient domains reject attempts to set autostart, and using virDomainCreate to restart a domain only works on persistent domains. Therefore, managed save makes no sense on transient domains, and should be rejected up front rather than creating an otherwise unrecoverable managed save file. Besides, transient domains imply that a lot more management is being done by the upper layer; this includes the assumption that the upper layer is okay managing the saved state file created by virDomainSave, and does not need to use managed save. * src/libvirt.c: Document that transient domains are incompatible with managed save. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainManagedSave): Enforce it. * src/libxl/libxl_driver.c (libxlDomainManagedSave): Likewise.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
