The virNetServer class has the ability to serialize its state to a JSON file, and then re-load that data after an in-place execve() call to re-connect to active file handles. This data format is critical ABI that must have compatibility across releases, so it should be tested...

===========================
|
|
|
|
The various input-data-*.json files are a record of all the historical
|
|
formats that libvirt has been able to produce data for. Everytime a
|
|
new field is added to the JSON output, a *new* input data file should
|
|
be created. We must not add new fields to existing input-data files,
|
|
nor must we ever re-structure them if code changes, as we must check
|
|
new code handles the legacy formats.
|
|
|
|
The various output-data-*.json files are the record of what the *new*
|
|
JSON output should look like for the correspondingly named input-data
|
|
file. It is permissible to change the existing output-data-*.json
|
|
files if the format we save in is updated.
