The way our completer callbacks work is that they return all possible candidates and then vshCompleterFilter() is called to prune the list of all candidates removing those which don't match user's input. This allows us to have simpler completer callbacks as their only job is to fetch all possible candidates. Anyway, if the completion candidate we're returning contains a space, it has to be escaped (shell like escaping), unless there is already a quote character (single quote or double quote). But ordering is critical. Completer callback returns string without any escaping, but the filter function sees the user input escaped. For instance, if user's input is "domain with space<TAB>" then the filtering function gets "domain\ with\ space" as user's input but completer returns "domain with space". Since these two strings don't match the filtering function removes this candidate from the list. What we need to do is to escape strings before calling the filtering function. This way, the filtering function will see two same strings. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Ján Tomko <jtomko@redhat.com>
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.
