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.

Eric Blake 1105c1deff blockjob: add new --bytes flag to virsh blockjob
Expose the new flag just added to virDomainGetBlockJobInfo.
With --raw, the presence or absence of --bytes determines which
flag to use in the single API call.  Without --raw, the use of
--bytes forces an error if the server doesn't support it,
otherwise, the code tries to silently fall back to scaling the
MiB/s value.

My goal is to eventually also support --bytes in bandwidth mode;
but that's a bit further down the road (and needs a new API flag
added in libvirt.h first).

This changes the human output, but the previous patch added
raw output precisely so that we can have flexibility with the
human output.  For this commit, I used qemu-monitor-command to
force an unusual bandwidth, but the same will be possible once
qemu implements virDomainBlockCopy:

Before:
Block Copy: [100 %]    Bandwidth limit: 2 MiB/s
After:
Block Copy: [100 %]    Bandwidth limit: 1048577 bytes/s (1.000 MiB/s)

The cache avoids having to repeatedly checking whether the flag
works when talking to an older server, when multiple blockjob
commands are issued during a batch session and the user is
manually polling for job completion.

* tools/virsh.h (_vshControl): Add a cache.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdConnect, vshReconnect): Initialize the cache.
* tools/virsh-domain.c (opts_block_job): Add --bytes.
* tools/virsh.pod (blockjob): Document this.

         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.
