Prepare for new checkpoint APIs by describing the XML that will represent a checkpoint. The checkpoint XML is modeled heavily after virDomainSnapshotPtr. See the docs for more details. Add testsuite coverage for some minimal uses of the XML (bare minimum, the sample from html, and a full dumpxml, and some counter-examples that should fail schema validation). Although use of the REDEFINE flag will require the <domain> subelement to be present, it is easier for most of the tests to provide counterpart output produced with the NO_DOMAIN flag (particularly since synthesizing a valid <domain> during testing is not trivial).

<h1>XML Format</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Objects in the libvirt API are configured using XML documents to allow
|
|
for ease of extension in future releases. Each XML document has an
|
|
associated Relax-NG schema that can be used to validate documents
|
|
prior to usage.

<h2>Command line validation</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>virt-xml-validate</code> tool provides a simple command line
|
|
for validating XML documents prior to giving them to libvirt. It uses
|
|
the locally instaled RNG schema documents. It will auto-detect which
|
|
schema to use for validation based on the name of the top level element
|
|
in the input document. Thus it merely requires the XML document filename
|
|
to be passed on the command line
|
