Eric Blake 2e13b9ab3c snapshot: new query APIs ... Right now, starting from just a virDomainSnapshotPtr, and wanting to know if it is the current snapshot for its respective domain, you have to use virDomainSnapshotGetDomain(), then virDomainSnapshotCurrent(), then compare the two names returned by virDomainSnapshotGetName(). It is a bit easier if we can directly query this information from the snapshot itself. Right now, it is possible to filter a snapshot listing based on whether snapshots have metadata that would prevent domain deletion, but the only way to learn if an individual snapshot has metadata is to see if that snapshot appears in the list returned by a listing. Additionally, I hope to expand the qemu driver in a future patch to use qemu-img to reconstruct snapshot XML corresponding to internal qcow2 snapshot names not otherwise tracked by libvirt (in part, so that libvirt can guarantee that new snapshots are not created with a name that would silently corrupt the existing portion of the qcow2 file); if I ever get that in, then it would no longer be an all-or-none decision on whether snapshots have metadata, and becomes all the more important to be able to directly determine that information from a particular snapshot. Other query functions (such as virDomainIsActive) do not have a flags argument, but since virDomainHasCurrentSnapshot takes a flags argument, I figured it was safer to provide a flags argument here as well. * include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainSnapshotIsCurrent) (virDomainSnapshotHasMetadata): New declarations. * src/libvirt.c (virDomainSnapshotIsCurrent) (virDomainSnapshotHasMetadata): New functions. * src/libvirt_public.syms (LIBVIRT_0.9.13): Export them. * src/driver.h (virDrvDomainSnapshotIsCurrent) (virDrvDomainSnapshotHasMetadata): New driver callbacks.		2012-06-11 10:43:03 -06:00
