Michal Privoznik e90d48ae6e virsh: Require --xpath for *dumpxml
Historically, the dumpxml command reject any unknown arguments,
for instance:

    virsh dumpxml fedora xxx

However, after v8.5.0-rc1~31 the second argument ('xxx') is
treated as an XPath, but it's not that clearly visible.
Therefore, require the --xpath switch, like this:

    virsh dumpxml fedora --xpath xxx

Yes, this breaks already released virsh, but I think we can argue
that the pool of users of this particular function is very small.
We also document the argument being mandatory:

   dumpxml [--inactive] [--security-info] [--update-cpu] [--migratable]
           [--xpath EXPRESSION] [--wrap] domain

The sooner we do this change, the better.

The same applies for other *dumpxml functions (net-dumpxml,
pool-dumpxml, vol-dumpxl to name a few).

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
