Description

Details

Macro LIBVIR_CHECK_VERSION

#define LIBVIR_CHECK_VERSION(major, minor, micro);

Macro for developers to easily check what version of the library their code is compiling against. e.g. #if LIBVIR_CHECK_VERSION(1,1,3) // some code that only works in 1.1.3 and newer #endif

major:major component of the version number
minor:minor component of the version number
micro:micro component of the version number

Macro LIBVIR_VERSION_NUMBER

#define LIBVIR_VERSION_NUMBER;

Macro providing the version of the library as version * 1,000,000 + minor * 1000 + micro


Macro VIR_COPY_CPUMAP

#define VIR_COPY_CPUMAP(cpumaps, maplen, vcpu, cpumap);

This macro is to be used in conjunction with virDomainGetVcpus() and virDomainPinVcpu() APIs. VIR_COPY_CPUMAP macro extracts the cpumap of the specified vcpu from cpumaps array and copies it into cpumap to be used later by virDomainPinVcpu() API.

cpumaps:pointer to an array of cpumap (in 8-bit bytes) (IN)
maplen:the length (in bytes) of one cpumap
vcpu:the virtual CPU number
cpumap:pointer to a cpumap (in 8-bit bytes) (OUT) This cpumap must be previously allocated by the caller (ie: malloc(maplen))

Macro VIR_CPU_MAPLEN

#define VIR_CPU_MAPLEN(cpu);

This macro is to be used in conjunction with virDomainPinVcpu() API. It returns the length (in bytes) required to store the complete CPU map between a single virtual & all physical CPUs of a domain.

cpu:number of physical CPUs

Macro VIR_CPU_USABLE

#define VIR_CPU_USABLE(cpumaps, maplen, vcpu, cpu);

This macro is to be used in conjunction with virDomainGetVcpus() API. VIR_CPU_USABLE macro returns a non-zero value (true) if the cpu is usable by the vcpu, and 0 otherwise.

cpumaps:pointer to an array of cpumap (in 8-bit bytes) (IN)
maplen:the length (in bytes) of one cpumap
vcpu:the virtual CPU number
cpu:the physical CPU number

Macro VIR_CPU_USED

#define VIR_CPU_USED(cpumap, cpu);

This macro can be used in conjunction with virNodeGetCPUMap() API. It returns non-zero if the bit of the related CPU is set.

cpumap:pointer to a bit map of real CPUs (in 8-bit bytes) (IN)
cpu:the physical CPU number

Macro VIR_DOMAIN_BANDWIDTH_IN_AVERAGE

#define VIR_DOMAIN_BANDWIDTH_IN_AVERAGE;

Macro represents the inbound average of NIC bandwidth, as a uint.


Macro VIR_DOMAIN_BANDWIDTH_IN_BURST

#define VIR_DOMAIN_BANDWIDTH_IN_BURST;

Macro represents the inbound burst of NIC bandwidth, as a uint.


Macro VIR_DOMAIN_BANDWIDTH_IN_PEAK

#define VIR_DOMAIN_BANDWIDTH_IN_PEAK;

Macro represents the inbound peak of NIC bandwidth, as a uint.


Macro VIR_DOMAIN_BANDWIDTH_OUT_AVERAGE

#define VIR_DOMAIN_BANDWIDTH_OUT_AVERAGE;

Macro represents the outbound average of NIC bandwidth, as a uint.


Macro VIR_DOMAIN_BANDWIDTH_OUT_BURST

#define VIR_DOMAIN_BANDWIDTH_OUT_BURST;

Macro represents the outbound burst of NIC bandwidth, as a uint.


Macro VIR_DOMAIN_BANDWIDTH_OUT_PEAK

#define VIR_DOMAIN_BANDWIDTH_OUT_PEAK;

Macro represents the outbound peak of NIC bandwidth, as a uint.


Macro VIR_DOMAIN_BLKIO_DEVICE_READ_BPS

#define VIR_DOMAIN_BLKIO_DEVICE_READ_BPS;

Macro for the blkio tunable throttle.read_iops_device: it represents the bytes of reading the block device per second, as a string. The string is parsed as a series of /path/to/device, read_bps elements, separated by ','.


Macro VIR_DOMAIN_BLKIO_DEVICE_READ_IOPS

#define VIR_DOMAIN_BLKIO_DEVICE_READ_IOPS;

Macro for the blkio tunable throttle.read_iops_device: it represents the number of reading the block device per second, as a string. The string is parsed as a series of /path/to/device, read_iops elements, separated by ','.


Macro VIR_DOMAIN_BLKIO_DEVICE_WEIGHT

#define VIR_DOMAIN_BLKIO_DEVICE_WEIGHT;

Macro for the blkio tunable weight_device: it represents the per-device weight, as a string. The string is parsed as a series of /path/to/device,weight elements, separated by ','.


Macro VIR_DOMAIN_BLKIO_DEVICE_WRITE_BPS

#define VIR_DOMAIN_BLKIO_DEVICE_WRITE_BPS;

Macro for the blkio tunable throttle.read_iops_device: it represents the number of reading the block device per second, as a string. The string is parsed as a series of /path/to/device, write_bps elements, separated by ','.


Macro VIR_DOMAIN_BLKIO_DEVICE_WRITE_IOPS

#define VIR_DOMAIN_BLKIO_DEVICE_WRITE_IOPS;

Macro for the blkio tunable throttle.write_iops_device: it represents the number of writing the block device per second, as a string. The string is parsed as a series of /path/to/device, write_iops elements, separated by ','.


Macro VIR_DOMAIN_BLKIO_FIELD_LENGTH

#define VIR_DOMAIN_BLKIO_FIELD_LENGTH;

Macro providing the field length of virBlkioParameter. Provided for backwards compatibility; VIR_TYPED_PARAM_FIELD_LENGTH is the preferred value since 0.9.2.

The same file handle can be registered multiple times provided the requested event sets are non-overlapping If the opaque user data requires free'ing when the handle is unregistered, then a 2nd callback can be supplied for this purpose. This callback needs to be invoked from a clean stack. If 'ff' callbacks are invoked directly from the virEventRemoveHandleFunc they will likely deadlock in libvirt.

fd:file descriptor to listen on
event:bitset of events on which to fire the callback
cb:the callback to be called when an event occurrs
opaque:user data to pass to the callback
ff:the callback invoked to free opaque data blob

const char * data,
size_t nbytes,
void * opaque)

The virStreamSinkFunc callback is used together with the virStreamRecvAll function for libvirt to provide the data that has been received. The callback will be invoked multiple times, providing data in small chunks. The application should consume up 'nbytes' from the 'data' array of data and then return the number actual number of bytes consumed. The callback will continue to be invoked until it indicates the end of the stream has been reached. A return value of -1 at any time will abort the receive operation

The callback will be invoked multiple times, fetching data in small chunks. The application should fill the 'data' array with up to 'nbytes' of data and then return the number actual number of bytes. The callback will continue to be invoked until it indicates the end of the source has been reached by returning 0. A return value of -1 at any time will abort the send operation

st:the stream object
data:preallocated array to be filled with data
nbytes:size of the data array
opaque:optional application provided data
Returns:the number of bytes filled, 0 upon end of file, or -1 upon error

virConnectBaselineCPU ()

char *	virConnectBaselineCPU		(virConnectPtr conn, 
const char ** xmlCPUs,
unsigned int ncpus,
unsigned int flags)

Computes the most feature-rich CPU which is compatible with all given host CPUs. If @flags includes VIR_CONNECT_BASELINE_CPU_EXPAND_FEATURES then libvirt will explicitly list all CPU features that are part of the host CPU, without this flag features that are part of the CPU model will not be listed.

conn:virConnect connection
xmlCPUs:array of XML descriptions of host CPUs
ncpus:number of CPUs in xmlCPUs
flags:bitwise-OR of virConnectBaselineCPUFlags
Returns:XML description of the computed CPU (caller frees) or NULL on error.

virConnectClose ()

int	virConnectClose			(virConnectPtr conn)

This function closes the connection to the Hypervisor. This should not be called if further interaction with the Hypervisor are needed especially if there is running domain which need further monitoring by the application. Connections are reference counted; the count is explicitly increased by the initial open (virConnectOpen, virConnectOpenAuth, and the like) as well as virConnectRef; it is also temporarily increased by other API that depend on the connection remaining alive. The open and every virConnectRef call should have a matching virConnectClose, and all other references will be released after the corresponding operation completes.

conn:pointer to the hypervisor connection
Returns:a positive number if at least 1 reference remains on success. The returned value should not be assumed to be the total reference count. A return of 0 implies no references remain and the connection is closed and memory has been freed. A return of -1 implies a failure. It is possible for the last virConnectClose to return a positive value if some other object still has a temporary reference to the connection, but the application should not try to further use a connection after the virConnectClose that matches the initial open.

virConnectCompareCPU ()

int	virConnectCompareCPU		(virConnectPtr conn, 
const char * xmlDesc,
unsigned int flags)

Compares the given CPU description with the host CPU

conn:virConnect connection
xmlDesc:XML describing the CPU to compare with host CPU
flags:bitwise-OR of virConnectCompareCPUFlags
Returns:comparison result according to enum virCPUCompareResult. If VIR_CONNECT_COMPARE_CPU_FAIL_INCOMPATIBLE is used and @xmlDesc CPU is incompatible with host CPU, this function will return VIR_CPU_COMPARE_ERROR (instead of VIR_CPU_COMPARE_INCOMPATIBLE) and the error will use the VIR_ERR_CPU_INCOMPATIBLE code with a message providing more details about the incompatibility.

virConnectDomainEventDeregister ()

int	virConnectDomainEventDeregister	(virConnectPtr conn, 
virConnectDomainEventCallback cb)

Removes a callback previously registered with the virConnectDomainEventRegister() function. Use of this method is no longer recommended. Instead applications should try virConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny() which has a more flexible API contract

conn:pointer to the connection
cb:callback to the function handling domain events
Returns:0 on success, -1 on failure. Older versions of some hypervisors sometimes returned a positive number on success, but without any reliable semantics on what that number represents.

virConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny ()

int	virConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny	(virConnectPtr conn, 
int callbackID)

Removes an event callback. The callbackID parameter should be the value obtained from a previous virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny() method.

conn:pointer to the connection
callbackID:the callback identifier
Returns:0 on success, -1 on failure. Older versions of some hypervisors sometimes returned a positive number on success, but without any reliable semantics on what that number represents.

virConnectDomainEventRegister ()

int	virConnectDomainEventRegister	(virConnectPtr conn, 
virConnectDomainEventCallback cb,
void * opaque,
virFreeCallback freecb)

Adds a callback to receive notifications of domain lifecycle events occurring on a connection. This function requires that an event loop has been previously registered with virEventRegisterImpl() or virEventRegisterDefaultImpl(). Use of this method is no longer recommended. Instead applications should try virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny() which has a more flexible API contract. The virDomainPtr object handle passed into the callback upon delivery of an event is only valid for the duration of execution of the callback. If the callback wishes to keep the domain object after the callback returns, it shall take a reference to it, by calling virDomainRef. The reference can be released once the object is no longer required by calling virDomainFree.

conn:pointer to the connection
cb:callback to the function handling domain events
opaque:opaque data to pass on to the callback
freecb:optional function to deallocate opaque when not used anymore
Returns:0 on success, -1 on failure. Older versions of some hypervisors sometimes returned a positive number on success, but without any reliable semantics on what that number represents.

virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny ()

int	virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny	(virConnectPtr conn, 
virDomainPtr dom,
int eventID,
virConnectDomainEventGenericCallback cb,
void * opaque,
virFreeCallback freecb)

Adds a callback to receive notifications of arbitrary domain events occurring on a domain. This function requires that an event loop has been previously registered with virEventRegisterImpl() or virEventRegisterDefaultImpl(). If @dom is NULL, then events will be monitored for any domain. If @dom is non-NULL, then only the specific domain will be monitored. Most types of event have a callback providing a custom set of parameters for the event. When registering an event, it is thus necessary to use the VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_CALLBACK() macro to cast the supplied function pointer to match the signature of this method. The virDomainPtr object handle passed into the callback upon delivery of an event is only valid for the duration of execution of the callback. If the callback wishes to keep the domain object after the callback returns, it shall take a reference to it, by calling virDomainRef(). The reference can be released once the object is no longer required by calling virDomainFree(). The return value from this method is a positive integer identifier for the callback. To unregister a callback, this callback ID should be passed to the virConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny() method.

conn:pointer to the connection
dom:pointer to the domain
eventID:the event type to receive
cb:callback to the function handling domain events
opaque:opaque data to pass on to the callback
freecb:optional function to deallocate opaque when not used anymore
Returns:a callback identifier on success, -1 on failure.

unsigned int stats,
virDomainStatsRecordPtr ** retStats,
unsigned int flags)

Query statistics for all domains on a given connection. Report statistics of various parameters for a running VM according to @stats field. The statistics are returned as an array of structures for each queried domain. The structure contains an array of typed parameters containing the individual statistics. The typed parameter name for each statistic field consists of a dot-separated string containing name of the requested group followed by a group specific description of the statistic value. The statistic groups are enabled using the @stats parameter which is a binary-OR of enum virDomainStatsTypes. The following groups are available (although not necessarily implemented for each hypervisor): VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_STATE: Return domain state and reason for entering that state. The typed parameter keys are in this format: "state.state" - state of the VM, returned as int from virDomainState enum "state.reason" - reason for entering given state, returned as int from virDomain*Reason enum corresponding to given state. VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_CPU_TOTAL: Return CPU statistics and usage information. The typed parameter keys are in this format: "cpu.time" - total cpu time spent for this domain in nanoseconds as unsigned long long. "cpu.user" - user cpu time spent in nanoseconds as unsigned long long. "cpu.system" - system cpu time spent in nanoseconds as unsigned long long. VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_BALLOON: Return memory balloon device information. The typed parameter keys are in this format: "balloon.current" - the memory in kiB currently used as unsigned long long. "balloon.maximum" - the maximum memory in kiB allowed as unsigned long long. VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_VCPU: Return virtual CPU statistics. Due to VCPU hotplug, the vcpu.<num>.* array could be sparse. The actual size of the array corresponds to "vcpu.current". The array size will never exceed "vcpu.maximum". The typed parameter keys are in this format: "vcpu.current" - current number of online virtual CPUs as unsigned int. "vcpu.maximum" - maximum number of online virtual CPUs as unsigned int. "vcpu.<num>.state" - state of the virtual CPU <num>, as int from virVcpuState enum. "vcpu.<num>.time" - virtual cpu time spent by virtual CPU <num> as unsigned long long. VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_INTERFACE: Return network interface statistics. The typed parameter keys are in this format: "net.count" - number of network interfaces on this domain as unsigned int. "net.<num>.name" - name of the interface <num> as string. "net.<num>.rx.bytes" - bytes received as unsigned long long. "net.<num>.rx.pkts" - packets received as unsigned long long. "net.<num>.rx.errs" - receive errors as unsigned long long. "net.<num>.rx.drop" - receive packets dropped as unsigned long long. "net.<num>.tx.bytes" - bytes transmitted as unsigned long long. "net.<num>.tx.pkts" - packets transmitted as unsigned long long. "net.<num>.tx.errs" - transmission errors as unsigned long long. "net.<num>.tx.drop" - transmit packets dropped as unsigned long long. VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_BLOCK: Return block devices statistics. The typed parameter keys are in this format: "block.count" - number of block devices on this domain as unsigned int. "block.<num>.name" - name of the block device <num> as string. matches the target name (vda/sda/hda) of the block device. "block.<num>.rd.reqs" - number of read requests as unsigned long long. "block.<num>.rd.bytes" - number of read bytes as unsigned long long. "block.<num>.rd.times" - total time (ns) spent on reads as unsigned long long. "block.<num>.wr.reqs" - number of write requests as unsigned long long. "block.<num>.wr.bytes" - number of written bytes as unsigned long long. "block.<num>.wr.times" - total time (ns) spent on writes as unsigned long long. "block.<num>.fl.reqs" - total flush requests as unsigned long long. "block.<num>.fl.times" - total time (ns) spent on cache flushing as unsigned long long. "block.<num>.errors" - Xen only: the 'oo_req' value as unsigned long long. Note that entire stats groups or individual stat fields may be missing from the output in case they are not supported by the given hypervisor, are not applicable for the current state of the guest domain, or their retrieval was not successful. Using 0 for @stats returns all stats groups supported by the given hypervisor. Specifying VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_ENFORCE_STATS as @flags makes the function return error in case some of the stat types in @stats were not recognized by the daemon. Similarly to virConnectListAllDomains, @flags can contain various flags to filter the list of domains to provide stats for. VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_ACTIVE selects online domains while VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_INACTIVE selects offline ones. VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_PERSISTENT and VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_TRANSIENT allow to filter the list according to their persistence. To filter the list of VMs by domain state @flags can contain VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_RUNNING, VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_PAUSED, VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_SHUTOFF and/or VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_OTHER for all other states.

virConnectListAllDomains ()

int	virConnectListAllDomains	(virConnectPtr conn, 
virDomainPtr ** domains,
unsigned int flags)

Collect a possibly-filtered list of all domains, and return an allocated array of information for each. This API solves the race inherent in virConnectListDomains() and virConnectListDefinedDomains(). Normally, all domains are returned; however, @flags can be used to filter the results for a smaller list of targeted domains. The valid flags are divided into groups, where each group contains bits that describe mutually exclusive attributes of a domain, and where all bits within a group describe all possible domains. Some hypervisors might reject explicit bits from a group where the hypervisor cannot make a distinction (for example, not all hypervisors can tell whether domains have snapshots). For a group supported by a given hypervisor, the behavior when no bits of a group are set is identical to the behavior when all bits in that group are set. When setting bits from more than one group, it is possible to select an impossible combination (such as an inactive transient domain), in that case a hypervisor may return either 0 or an error. The first group of @flags is VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_ACTIVE (online domains) and VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_INACTIVE (offline domains). The next group of @flags is VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_PERSISTENT (defined domains) and VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_TRANSIENT (running but not defined). The next group of @flags covers various domain states: VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_RUNNING, VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_PAUSED, VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_SHUTOFF, and a catch-all for all other states (such as crashed, this catch-all covers the possibility of adding new states). The remaining groups cover boolean attributes commonly asked about domains; they include VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_MANAGEDSAVE and VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_NO_MANAGEDSAVE, for filtering based on whether a managed save image exists; VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_AUTOSTART and VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_NO_AUTOSTART, for filtering based on autostart; VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_HAS_SNAPSHOT and VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_NO_SNAPSHOT, for filtering based on whether a domain has snapshots. Example of usage: virDomainPtr *domains; size_t i; int ret; unsigned int flags = VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_RUNNING | VIR_CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_PERSISTENT; ret = virConnectListAllDomains(conn, &domains, flags); if (ret < 0) error(); for (i = 0; i < ret; i++) { do_something_with_domain(domains[i]); //here or in a separate loop if needed virDomainFree(domains[i]); } free(domains);

conn:Pointer to the hypervisor connection.
domains:Pointer to a variable to store the array containing domain objects or NULL if the list is not required (just returns number of guests).
flags:bitwise-OR of virConnectListAllDomainsFlags
Returns:the number of domains found or -1 and sets domains to NULL in case of error. On success, the array stored into @domains is guaranteed to have an extra allocated element set to NULL but not included in the return count, to make iteration easier. The caller is responsible for calling virDomainFree() on each array element, then calling free() on @domains.

virConnectListAllInterfaces ()

int	virConnectListAllInterfaces	(virConnectPtr conn, 
virInterfacePtr ** ifaces,
unsigned int flags)

Normally, all interfaces are returned; however, @flags can be used to filter the results for a smaller list of targeted interfaces. The valid flags are divided into groups, where each group contains bits that describe mutually exclusive attributes of a interface, and where all bits within a group describe all possible interfaces. The only group of @flags is VIR_CONNECT_LIST_INTERFACES_ACTIVE (up) and VIR_CONNECT_LIST_INTERFACES_INACTIVE (down) to filter the interfaces by state.

conn:Pointer to the hypervisor connection.
ifaces:Pointer to a variable to store the array containing the interface objects or NULL if the list is not required (just returns number of interfaces).
flags:bitwise-OR of virConnectListAllInterfacesFlags.
Returns:the number of interfaces found or -1 and sets @ifaces to NULL in case of error. On success, the array stored into @ifaces is guaranteed to have an extra allocated element set to NULL but not included in the return count, to make iteration easier. The caller is responsible for calling virStorageInterfaceFree() on each array element, then calling free() on @ifaces.

The first group of @flags is VIR_CONNECT_LIST_NETWORKS_ACTIVE (up) and VIR_CONNECT_LIST_NETWORKS_INACTIVE (down) to filter the networks by state. The second group of @flags is VIR_CONNECT_LIST_NETWORKS_PERSISTENT (defined) and VIR_CONNECT_LIST_NETWORKS_TRANSIENT (running but not defined), to filter the networks by whether they have persistent config or not. The third group of @flags is VIR_CONNECT_LIST_NETWORKS_AUTOSTART and VIR_CONNECT_LIST_NETWORKS_NO_AUTOSTART, to filter the networks by whether they are marked as autostart or not.

conn:Pointer to the hypervisor connection.

int	virConnectListAllSecrets	(virConnectPtr conn, 
virSecretPtr ** secrets,
unsigned int flags)

Collect the list of secrets, and allocate an array to store those objects.

Collect the list of active networks, and store their names in @names For more control over the results, see virConnectListAllNetworks().

conn:pointer to the hypervisor connection
names:array to collect the list of names of active networks
maxnames:size of @names
Returns:the number of networks found or -1 in case of error. Note that this command is inherently racy; a network can be started between a call to virConnectNumOfNetworks() and this call; you are only guaranteed that all currently active networks were listed if the return is less than @maxnames. The client must call free() on each returned name.

virConnectListSecrets ()

int	virConnectListSecrets		(virConnectPtr conn, 
char ** uuids,
int maxuuids)

List UUIDs of defined secrets, store pointers to names in uuids.

conn:virConnect connection
uuids:Pointer to an array to store the UUIDs
maxuuids:size of the array.
Returns:the number of UUIDs provided in the array, or -1 on failure.

virConnectListStoragePools ()

int	virConnectListStoragePools	(virConnectPtr conn, 
char ** const names,
int maxnames)

Provides the list of names of active storage pools up to maxnames. If there are more than maxnames, the remaining names will be silently ignored. For more control over the results, see virConnectListAllStoragePools().

conn:pointer to hypervisor connection
names:array of char * to fill with pool names (allocated by caller)
maxnames:size of the names array
Returns:the number of pools found or -1 in case of error. Note that this command is inherently racy; a pool can be started between a call to virConnectNumOfStoragePools() and this call; you are only guaranteed that all currently active pools were listed if the return is less than @maxnames. The client must call free() on each returned name.

virConnectNetworkEventDeregisterAny ()

int	virConnectNetworkEventDeregisterAny	(virConnectPtr conn, 
int callbackID)

Removes an event callback. The callbackID parameter should be the value obtained from a previous virConnectNetworkEventRegisterAny() method.

conn:pointer to the connection
callbackID:the callback identifier
Returns:0 on success, -1 on failure

virConnectNetworkEventRegisterAny ()

int	virConnectNetworkEventRegisterAny	(virConnectPtr conn, 
virNetworkPtr net,
int eventID,
virConnectNetworkEventGenericCallback cb,
void * opaque,
virFreeCallback freecb)

Adds a callback to receive notifications of arbitrary network events occurring on a network. This function requires that an event loop has been previously registered with virEventRegisterImpl() or virEventRegisterDefaultImpl(). If @net is NULL, then events will be monitored for any network. If @net is non-NULL, then only the specific network will be monitored. Most types of event have a callback providing a custom set of parameters for the event. When registering an event, it is thus necessary to use the VIR_NETWORK_EVENT_CALLBACK() macro to cast the supplied function pointer to match the signature of this method. The virNetworkPtr object handle passed into the callback upon delivery of an event is only valid for the duration of execution of the callback. If the callback wishes to keep the network object after the callback returns, it shall take a reference to it, by calling virNetworkRef(). The reference can be released once the object is no longer required by calling virNetworkFree(). The return value from this method is a positive integer identifier for the callback. To unregister a callback, this callback ID should be passed to the virConnectNetworkEventDeregisterAny() method.

conn:pointer to the connection
net:pointer to the network
eventID:the event type to receive
cb:callback to the function handling network events
opaque:opaque data to pass on to the callback
freecb:optional function to deallocate opaque when not used anymore
Returns:a callback identifier on success, -1 on failure.

Provides the number of active storage pools

conn:pointer to hypervisor connection
Returns:the number of pools found, or -1 on error

virConnectOpen ()

virConnectPtr	virConnectOpen		(const char * name)

This function should be called first to get a connection to the Hypervisor and xen store If @name is NULL, if the LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI environment variable is set, then it will be used. Otherwise if the client configuration file has the "uri_default" parameter set, then it will be used. Finally probing will be done to determine a suitable default driver to activate. This involves trying each hypervisor in turn until one successfully opens. If connecting to an unprivileged hypervisor driver which requires the libvirtd daemon to be active, it will automatically be launched if not already running. This can be prevented by setting the environment variable LIBVIRT_AUTOSTART=0 URIs are documented at http://libvirt.org/uri.html virConnectClose should be used to release the resources after the connection is no longer needed.

name:(optional) URI of the hypervisor
Returns:a pointer to the hypervisor connection or NULL in case of error

virConnectOpenAuth ()

virConnectPtr	virConnectOpenAuth	(const char * name, 
virConnectAuthPtr auth,
unsigned int flags)

This function should be called first to get a connection to the Hypervisor. If necessary, authentication will be performed fetching credentials via the callback See virConnectOpen for notes about environment variables which can have an effect on opening drivers and freeing the connection resources URIs are documented at http://libvirt.org/uri.html

name:(optional) URI of the hypervisor
auth:Authenticate callback parameters
flags:bitwise-OR of virConnectFlags
Returns:a pointer to the hypervisor connection or NULL in case of error

virConnectOpenReadOnly ()

virConnectPtr	virConnectOpenReadOnly	(const char * name)

This function should be called first to get a restricted connection to the library functionalities. The set of APIs usable are then restricted on the available methods to control the domains. See virConnectOpen for notes about environment variables which can have an effect on opening drivers and freeing the connection resources URIs are documented at http://libvirt.org/uri.html

name:(optional) URI of the hypervisor
Returns:a pointer to the hypervisor connection or NULL in case of error

virConnectRef ()

int	virConnectRef			(virConnectPtr conn)

Increment the reference count on the connection. For each additional call to this method, there shall be a corresponding call to virConnectClose to release the reference count, once the caller no longer needs the reference to this object. This method is typically useful for applications where multiple threads are using a connection, and it is required that the connection remain open until all threads have finished using it. ie, each new thread using a connection would increment the reference count.

conn:the connection to hold a reference on
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure

virConnectRegisterCloseCallback ()

int	virConnectRegisterCloseCallback	(virConnectPtr conn, 
virConnectCloseFunc cb,
void * opaque,
virFreeCallback freecb)

Registers a callback to be invoked when the connection is closed. This callback is invoked when there is any condition that causes the socket connection to the hypervisor to be closed. This function is only applicable to hypervisor drivers which maintain a persistent open connection. Drivers which open a new connection for every operation will not invoke this. The @freecb must not invoke any other libvirt public APIs, since it is not called from a re-entrant safe context.

conn:pointer to connection object
cb:callback to invoke upon close
opaque:user data to pass to @cb
freecb:callback to free @opaque
Returns:0 on success, -1 on error

virConnectSetKeepAlive ()

int	virConnectSetKeepAlive		(virConnectPtr conn, 
int interval,
unsigned int count)

Start sending keepalive messages after @interval seconds of inactivity and consider the connection to be broken when no response is received after @count keepalive messages sent in a row. In other words, sending count + 1 keepalive message results in closing the connection. When @interval is <= 0, no keepalive messages will be sent. When @count is 0, the connection will be automatically closed after @interval seconds of inactivity without sending any keepalive messages. Note: The client has to implement and run an event loop with virEventRegisterImpl() or virEventRegisterDefaultImpl() to be able to use keepalive messages. Failure to do so may result in connections being closed unexpectedly. Note: This API function controls only keepalive messages sent by the client. If the server is configured to use keepalive you still need to run the event loop to respond to them, even if you disable keepalives by this function.

conn:pointer to a hypervisor connection
interval:number of seconds of inactivity before a keepalive message is sent
count:number of messages that can be sent in a row
Returns:-1 on error, 0 on success, 1 when remote party doesn't support keepalive messages.

virConnectUnregisterCloseCallback ()

int	virConnectUnregisterCloseCallback	(virConnectPtr conn, 
virConnectCloseFunc cb)

Unregisters the callback previously set with the virConnectRegisterCloseCallback method. The callback will no longer receive notifications when the connection closes. If a virFreeCallback was provided at time of registration, it will be invoked

conn:pointer to connection object
cb:pointer to the current registered callback
Returns:0 on success, -1 on error

virDomainAbortJob ()

int	virDomainAbortJob		(virDomainPtr domain)

Requests that the current background job be aborted at the soonest opportunity.

domain:a domain object
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainAttachDevice ()

int	virDomainAttachDevice		(virDomainPtr domain, 
const char * xml)

Create a virtual device attachment to backend. This function, having hotplug semantics, is only allowed on an active domain. For compatibility, this method can also be used to change the media in an existing CDROM/Floppy device, however, applications are recommended to use the virDomainUpdateDeviceFlag method instead. Be aware that hotplug changes might not persist across a domain going into S4 state (also known as hibernation) unless you also modify the persistent domain definition.

domain:pointer to domain object
xml:pointer to XML description of one device
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virDomainAttachDeviceFlags ()

int	virDomainAttachDeviceFlags	(virDomainPtr domain, 
const char * xml,
unsigned int flags)

Attach a virtual device to a domain, using the flags parameter to control how the device is attached. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT specifies that the device allocation is made based on current domain state. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE specifies that the device shall be allocated to the active domain instance only and is not added to the persisted domain configuration. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG specifies that the device shall be allocated to the persisted domain configuration only. Note that the target hypervisor must return an error if unable to satisfy flags. E.g. the hypervisor driver will return failure if LIVE is specified but it only supports modifying the persisted device allocation. For compatibility, this method can also be used to change the media in an existing CDROM/Floppy device, however, applications are recommended to use the virDomainUpdateDeviceFlag method instead. Be aware that hotplug changes might not persist across a domain going into S4 state (also known as hibernation) unless you also modify the persistent domain definition.

domain:pointer to domain object
xml:pointer to XML description of one device
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainDeviceModifyFlags
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virDomainBlockCommit ()

int	virDomainBlockCommit		(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char * disk,
const char * base,
const char * top,
unsigned long bandwidth,
unsigned int flags)

Commit changes that were made to temporary top-level files within a disk image backing file chain into a lower-level base file. In other words, take all the difference between @base and @top, and update @base to contain that difference; after the commit, any portion of the chain that previously depended on @top will now depend on @base, and all files after @base up to and including @top will now be invalidated. A typical use of this command is to reduce the length of a backing file chain after taking an external disk snapshot. To move data in the opposite direction, see virDomainBlockPull(). This command starts a long-running commit block job, whose status may be tracked by virDomainBlockJobInfo() with a job type of VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_COMMIT, and the operation can be aborted with virDomainBlockJobAbort(). When finished, an asynchronous event is raised to indicate the final status, and the job no longer exists. If the job is aborted, it is up to the hypervisor whether starting a new job will resume from the same point, or start over. As a special case, if @top is the active image (or NULL), and @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COMMIT_ACTIVE, the block job will have a type of VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_ACTIVE_COMMIT, and operates in two phases. In the first phase, the contents are being committed into @base, and the job can only be canceled. The job transitions to the second phase when the job info states cur == end, and remains alive to keep all further changes to @top synchronized into @base; an event with status VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_READY is also issued to mark the job transition. Once in the second phase, the user must choose whether to cancel the job (keeping @top as the active image, but now containing only the changes since the time the job ended) or to pivot the job (adjusting to @base as the active image, and invalidating @top). Be aware that this command may invalidate files even if it is aborted; the user is cautioned against relying on the contents of invalidated intermediate files such as @top (when @top is not the active image) without manually rebasing those files to use a backing file of a read-only copy of @base prior to the point where the commit operation was started (and such a rebase cannot be safely done until the commit has successfully completed). However, the domain itself will not have any issues; the active layer remains valid throughout the entire commit operation. Some hypervisors may support a shortcut where if @flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COMMIT_DELETE, then this command will unlink all files that were invalidated, after the commit successfully completes. If @flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COMMIT_RELATIVE, the name recorded into the overlay of the @top image (if there is such image) as the path to the new backing file will be kept relative to other images. The operation will fail if libvirt can't infer the name. By default, if @base is NULL, the commit target will be the bottom of the backing chain; if @flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COMMIT_SHALLOW, then the immediate backing file of @top will be used instead. If @top is NULL, the active image at the top of the chain will be used. Some hypervisors place restrictions on how much can be committed, and might fail if @base is not the immediate backing file of @top, or if @top is the active layer in use by a running domain but @flags did not include VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COMMIT_ACTIVE, or if @top is not the top-most file; restrictions may differ for online vs. offline domains. The @disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk. The @base and @top parameters can be either paths to files within the backing chain, or the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda") followed by an index to the backing chain enclosed in square brackets. Backing chain indexes can be found by inspecting //disk//backingStore/@index in the domain XML. Thus, for example, "vda[3]" refers to the backing store with index equal to "3" in the chain of disk "vda". The maximum bandwidth that will be used to do the commit can be specified with the @bandwidth parameter. If set to 0, there is no limit. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COMMIT_BANDWIDTH_BYTES, @bandwidth is in bytes/second; otherwise, it is in MiB/second. Values larger than 2^52 bytes/sec may be rejected due to overflow considerations based on the word size of both client and server, and values larger than 2^31 bytes/sec may cause overflow problems if later queried by virDomainGetBlockJobInfo() without scaling. Hypervisors may further restrict the range of valid bandwidth values. Some hypervisors do not support this feature and will return an error if bandwidth is not 0; in this case, it might still be possible for a later call to virDomainBlockJobSetSpeed() to succeed. The actual speed can be determined with virDomainGetBlockJobInfo().

dom:pointer to domain object
disk:path to the block device, or device shorthand
base:path to backing file to merge into, or device shorthand, or NULL for default
top:path to file within backing chain that contains data to be merged, or device shorthand, or NULL to merge all possible data
bandwidth:(optional) specify bandwidth limit; flags determine the unit
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainBlockCommitFlags
Returns:0 if the operation has started, -1 on failure.

virDomainBlockCopy ()

int	virDomainBlockCopy		(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char * disk,
const char * destxml,
virTypedParameterPtr params,
int nparams,
unsigned int flags)

Copy the guest-visible contents of a disk image to a new file described by @destxml. The destination XML has a top-level element of <disk>, and resembles what is used when hot-plugging a disk via virDomainAttachDevice(), except that only sub-elements related to describing the new host resource are necessary (sub-elements related to the guest view, such as <target>, are ignored). It is strongly recommended to include a <driver type='...'/> format designation for the destination, to avoid the potential of any security problem that might be caused by probing a file for its format. This command starts a long-running copy. By default, the copy will pull the entire source chain into the destination file, but if @flags also contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COPY_SHALLOW, then only the top of the source chain will be copied (the source and destination have a common backing file). The format of the destination file is controlled by the <driver> sub-element of the XML. The destination will be created unless the VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COPY_REUSE_EXT flag is present stating that the file was pre-created with the correct format and metadata and sufficient size to hold the copy. In case the VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COPY_SHALLOW flag is used the pre-created file has to exhibit the same guest visible contents as the backing file of the original image. This allows a management app to pre-create files with relative backing file names, rather than the default of absolute backing file names. A copy job has two parts; in the first phase, the source is copied into the destination, and the job can only be canceled by reverting to the source file; progress in this phase can be tracked via the virDomainBlockJobInfo() command, with a job type of VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_COPY. The job transitions to the second phase when the job info states cur == end, and remains alive to mirror all further changes to both source and destination. The user must call virDomainBlockJobAbort() to end the mirroring while choosing whether to revert to source or pivot to the destination. An event is issued when the job ends, and depending on the hypervisor, an event may also be issued when the job transitions from pulling to mirroring. If the job is aborted, a new job will have to start over from the beginning of the first phase. Some hypervisors will restrict certain actions, such as virDomainSave() or virDomainDetachDevice(), while a copy job is active; they may also restrict a copy job to transient domains. The @disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk. The @params and @nparams arguments can be used to set hypervisor-specific tuning parameters, such as maximum bandwidth or granularity. For a parameter that the hypervisor understands, explicitly specifying 0 behaves the same as omitting the parameter, to use the hypervisor default; however, omitting a parameter is less likely to fail. This command is a superset of the older virDomainBlockRebase() when used with the VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY flag, and offers better control over the destination format, the ability to copy to a destination that is not a local file, and the possibility of additional tuning parameters.

dom:pointer to domain object
disk:path to the block device, or device shorthand
destxml:XML description of the copy destination
params:Pointer to block copy parameter objects, or NULL
nparams:Number of block copy parameters (this value can be the same or less than the number of parameters supported)
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainBlockCopyFlags
Returns:0 if the operation has started, -1 on failure.

virDomainBlockJobAbort ()

int	virDomainBlockJobAbort		(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char * disk,
unsigned int flags)

Cancel the active block job on the given disk. The @disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or (since 0.9.5) the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk. If the current block job for @disk is VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_PULL, then by default, this function performs a synchronous operation and the caller may assume that the operation has completed when 0 is returned. However, BlockJob operations may take a long time to cancel, and during this time further domain interactions may be unresponsive. To avoid this problem, pass VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_ABORT_ASYNC in the @flags argument to enable asynchronous behavior, returning as soon as possible. When the job has been canceled, a BlockJob event will be emitted, with status VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_CANCELED (even if the ABORT_ASYNC flag was not used); it is also possible to poll virDomainBlockJobInfo() to see if the job cancellation is still pending. This type of job can be restarted to pick up from where it left off. If the current block job for @disk is VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_COPY, then the default is to abort the mirroring and revert to the source disk; likewise, if the current job is VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_ACTIVE_COMMIT, the default is to abort without changing the active layer of @disk. Adding @flags of VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_ABORT_PIVOT causes this call to fail with VIR_ERR_BLOCK_COPY_ACTIVE if the copy or commit is not yet ready; otherwise it will swap the disk over to the new active image to end the mirroring or active commit. An event will be issued when the job is ended, and it is possible to use VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_ABORT_ASYNC to control whether this command waits for the completion of the job. Restarting a copy or active commit job requires starting over from the beginning of the first phase.

dom:pointer to domain object
disk:path to the block device, or device shorthand
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainBlockJobAbortFlags
Returns:-1 in case of failure, 0 when successful.

virDomainBlockJobSetSpeed ()

int	virDomainBlockJobSetSpeed	(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char * disk,
unsigned long bandwidth,
unsigned int flags)

Set the maximimum allowable bandwidth that a block job may consume. If bandwidth is 0, the limit will revert to the hypervisor default of unlimited. If @flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_SPEED_BANDWIDTH_BYTES, @bandwidth is in bytes/second; otherwise, it is in MiB/second. Values larger than 2^52 bytes/sec may be rejected due to overflow considerations based on the word size of both client and server, and values larger than 2^31 bytes/sec may cause overflow problems if later queried by virDomainGetBlockJobInfo() without scaling. Hypervisors may further restrict the range of valid bandwidth values. The @disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or (since 0.9.5) the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk.

dom:pointer to domain object
disk:path to the block device, or device shorthand
bandwidth:specify bandwidth limit; flags determine the unit
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainBlockJobSetSpeedFlags
Returns:-1 in case of failure, 0 when successful.

virDomainBlockPeek ()

int	virDomainBlockPeek		(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char * disk,
unsigned long long offset,
size_t size,
void * buffer,
unsigned int flags)

This function allows you to read the contents of a domain's disk device. Typical uses for this are to determine if the domain has written a Master Boot Record (indicating that the domain has completed installation), or to try to work out the state of the domain's filesystems. (Note that in the local case you might try to open the block device or file directly, but that won't work in the remote case, nor if you don't have sufficient permission. Hence the need for this call). The @disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or (since 0.9.5) the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk. 'offset' and 'size' represent an area which must lie entirely within the device or file. 'size' may be 0 to test if the call would succeed. 'buffer' is the return buffer and must be at least 'size' bytes. NB. The remote driver imposes a 64K byte limit on 'size'. For your program to be able to work reliably over a remote connection you should split large requests to <= 65536 bytes. However, with 0.9.13 this RPC limit has been raised to 1M byte. Starting with version 1.0.6 the RPC limit has been raised again. Now large requests up to 16M byte are supported.

dom:pointer to the domain object
disk:path to the block device, or device shorthand
offset:offset within block device
size:size to read
buffer:return buffer (must be at least size bytes)
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:0 in case of success or -1 in case of failure. really 64 bits

virDomainBlockPull ()

int	virDomainBlockPull		(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char * disk,
unsigned long bandwidth,
unsigned int flags)

Populate a disk image with data from its backing image. Once all data from its backing image has been pulled, the disk no longer depends on a backing image. This function pulls data for the entire device in the background. Progress of the operation can be checked with virDomainGetBlockJobInfo() and the operation can be aborted with virDomainBlockJobAbort(). When finished, an asynchronous event is raised to indicate the final status. To move data in the opposite direction, see virDomainBlockCommit(). The @disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or (since 0.9.5) the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk. The maximum bandwidth that will be used to do the copy can be specified with the @bandwidth parameter. If set to 0, there is no limit. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_PULL_BANDWIDTH_BYTES, @bandwidth is in bytes/second; otherwise, it is in MiB/second. Values larger than 2^52 bytes/sec may be rejected due to overflow considerations based on the word size of both client and server, and values larger than 2^31 bytes/sec may cause overflow problems if later queried by virDomainGetBlockJobInfo() without scaling. Hypervisors may further restrict the range of valid bandwidth values. Some hypervisors do not support this feature and will return an error if bandwidth is not 0; in this case, it might still be possible for a later call to virDomainBlockJobSetSpeed() to succeed. The actual speed can be determined with virDomainGetBlockJobInfo(). This is shorthand for virDomainBlockRebase() with a NULL base.

dom:pointer to domain object
disk:path to the block device, or device shorthand
bandwidth:(optional) specify bandwidth limit; flags determine the unit
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainBlockPullFlags
Returns:0 if the operation has started, -1 on failure.

virDomainBlockRebase ()

int	virDomainBlockRebase		(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char * disk,
const char * base,
unsigned long bandwidth,
unsigned int flags)

Populate a disk image with data from its backing image chain, and setting the backing image to @base, or alternatively copy an entire backing chain to a new file @base. When @flags is 0, this starts a pull, where @base must be the absolute path of one of the backing images further up the chain, or NULL to convert the disk image so that it has no backing image. Once all data from its backing image chain has been pulled, the disk no longer depends on those intermediate backing images. This function pulls data for the entire device in the background. Progress of the operation can be checked with virDomainGetBlockJobInfo() with a job type of VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_PULL, and the operation can be aborted with virDomainBlockJobAbort(). When finished, an asynchronous event is raised to indicate the final status, and the job no longer exists. If the job is aborted, a new one can be started later to resume from the same point. If @flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_RELATIVE, the name recorded into the active disk as the location for @base will be kept relative. The operation will fail if libvirt can't infer the name. When @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY, this starts a copy, where @base must be the name of a new file to copy the chain to. By default, the copy will pull the entire source chain into the destination file, but if @flags also contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_SHALLOW, then only the top of the source chain will be copied (the source and destination have a common backing file). By default, @base will be created with the same file format as the source, but this can be altered by adding VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY_RAW to force the copy to be raw (does not make sense with the shallow flag unless the source is also raw), or by using VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_REUSE_EXT to reuse an existing file which was pre-created with the correct format and metadata and sufficient size to hold the copy. In case the VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_SHALLOW flag is used the pre-created file has to exhibit the same guest visible contents as the backing file of the original image. This allows a management app to pre-create files with relative backing file names, rather than the default of absolute backing file names; as a security precaution, you should generally only use reuse_ext with the shallow flag and a non-raw destination file. By default, the copy destination will be treated as type='file', but using VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY_DEV treats the destination as type='block' (affecting how virDomainGetBlockInfo() will report allocation after pivoting). A copy job has two parts; in the first phase, the @bandwidth parameter affects how fast the source is pulled into the destination, and the job can only be canceled by reverting to the source file; progress in this phase can be tracked via the virDomainBlockJobInfo() command, with a job type of VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_TYPE_COPY. The job transitions to the second phase when the job info states cur == end, and remains alive to mirror all further changes to both source and destination. The user must call virDomainBlockJobAbort() to end the mirroring while choosing whether to revert to source or pivot to the destination. An event is issued when the job ends, and depending on the hypervisor, an event may also be issued when the job transitions from pulling to mirroring. If the job is aborted, a new job will have to start over from the beginning of the first phase. Some hypervisors will restrict certain actions, such as virDomainSave() or virDomainDetachDevice(), while a copy job is active; they may also restrict a copy job to transient domains. The @disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk. The @base parameter can be either a path to a file within the backing chain, or the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda") followed by an index to the backing chain enclosed in square brackets. Backing chain indexes can be found by inspecting //disk//backingStore/@index in the domain XML. Thus, for example, "vda[3]" refers to the backing store with index equal to "3" in the chain of disk "vda". The maximum bandwidth that will be used to do the copy can be specified with the @bandwidth parameter. If set to 0, there is no limit. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_BANDWIDTH_BYTES, @bandwidth is in bytes/second; otherwise, it is in MiB/second. Values larger than 2^52 bytes/sec may be rejected due to overflow considerations based on the word size of both client and server, and values larger than 2^31 bytes/sec may cause overflow problems if later queried by virDomainGetBlockJobInfo() without scaling. Hypervisors may further restrict the range of valid bandwidth values. Some hypervisors do not support this feature and will return an error if bandwidth is not 0; in this case, it might still be possible for a later call to virDomainBlockJobSetSpeed() to succeed. The actual speed can be determined with virDomainGetBlockJobInfo(). When @base is NULL and @flags is 0, this is identical to virDomainBlockPull(). When @flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_REBASE_COPY, this command is shorthand for virDomainBlockCopy() where the destination XML encodes @base as a <disk type='file'>, @bandwidth is properly scaled and passed as a typed parameter, the shallow and reuse external flags are preserved, and remaining flags control whether the XML encodes a destination format of raw instead of leaving the destination identical to the source format or probed from the reused file.

dom:pointer to domain object
disk:path to the block device, or device shorthand
base:path to backing file to keep, or device shorthand, or NULL for no backing file
bandwidth:(optional) specify bandwidth limit; flags determine the unit
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainBlockRebaseFlags
Returns:0 if the operation has started, -1 on failure.

virDomainBlockResize ()

int	virDomainBlockResize		(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char * disk,
unsigned long long size,
unsigned int flags)

Resize a block device of domain while the domain is running. If @flags is 0, then @size is in kibibytes (blocks of 1024 bytes); since 0.9.11, if @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_RESIZE_BYTES, @size is in bytes instead. @size is taken directly as the new size. Depending on the file format, the hypervisor may round up to the next alignment boundary. The @disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or (since 0.9.5) the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk. Note that this call may fail if the underlying virtualization hypervisor does not support it; this call requires privileged access to the hypervisor.

dom:pointer to the domain object
disk:path to the block image, or shorthand
size:new size of the block image, see below for unit
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainBlockResizeFlags
Returns:0 in case of success or -1 in case of failure.

virDomainBlockStats ()

int	virDomainBlockStats		(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char * disk,
virDomainBlockStatsPtr stats,
size_t size)

This function returns block device (disk) stats for block devices attached to the domain. The @disk parameter is either the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"), or (since 0.9.8) an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk. Some drivers might also accept the empty string for the @disk parameter, and then yield summary stats for the entire domain. Domains may have more than one block device. To get stats for each you should make multiple calls to this function. Individual fields within the stats structure may be returned as -1, which indicates that the hypervisor does not support that particular statistic.

dom:pointer to the domain object
disk:path to the block device, or device shorthand
stats:block device stats (returned)
size:size of stats structure
Returns:0 in case of success or -1 in case of failure.

virDomainBlockStatsFlags ()

int	virDomainBlockStatsFlags	(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char * disk,
virTypedParameterPtr params,
int * nparams,
unsigned int flags)

This function is to get block stats parameters for block devices attached to the domain. The @disk parameter is either the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"), or (since 0.9.8) an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk. Some drivers might also accept the empty string for the @disk parameter, and then yield summary stats for the entire domain. Domains may have more than one block device. To get stats for each you should make multiple calls to this function. On input, @nparams gives the size of the @params array; on output, @nparams gives how many slots were filled with parameter information, which might be less but will not exceed the input value. As a special case, calling with @params as NULL and @nparams as 0 on input will cause @nparams on output to contain the number of parameters supported by the hypervisor. (Note that block devices of different types might support different parameters, so it might be necessary to compute @nparams for each block device). The caller should then allocate @params array, i.e. (sizeof(@virTypedParameter) * @nparams) bytes and call the API again. See virDomainGetMemoryParameters() for more details.

dom:pointer to domain object
disk:path to the block device, or device shorthand
params:pointer to block stats parameter object (return value, allocated by the caller)
nparams:pointer to number of block stats; input and output
flags:bitwise-OR of virTypedParameterFlags
Returns:-1 in case of error, 0 in case of success.

virDomainCoreDump ()

int	virDomainCoreDump		(virDomainPtr domain, 
const char * to,
unsigned int flags)

This method will dump the core of a domain on a given file for analysis. Note that for remote Xen Daemon the file path will be interpreted in the remote host. Hypervisors may require the user to manually ensure proper permissions on the file named by @to. If @flags includes VIR_DUMP_CRASH, then leave the guest shut off with a crashed state after the dump completes. If @flags includes VIR_DUMP_LIVE, then make the core dump while continuing to allow the guest to run; otherwise, the guest is suspended during the dump. VIR_DUMP_RESET flag forces reset of the guest after dump. The above three flags are mutually exclusive. Additionally, if @flags includes VIR_DUMP_BYPASS_CACHE, then libvirt will attempt to bypass the file system cache while creating the file, or fail if it cannot do so for the given system; this can allow less pressure on file system cache, but also risks slowing saves to NFS. For more control over the output format, see virDomainCoreDumpWithFormat().

domain:a domain object
to:path for the core file
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainCoreDumpFlags
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainCoreDumpWithFormat ()

int	virDomainCoreDumpWithFormat	(virDomainPtr domain, 
const char * to,
unsigned int dumpformat,
unsigned int flags)

This method will dump the core of a domain on a given file for analysis. Note that for remote Xen Daemon the file path will be interpreted in the remote host. Hypervisors may require the user to manually ensure proper permissions on the file named by @to. @dumpformat controls which format the dump will have; use of VIR_DOMAIN_CORE_DUMP_FORMAT_RAW mirrors what virDomainCoreDump() will perform. Not all hypervisors are able to support all formats. If @flags includes VIR_DUMP_CRASH, then leave the guest shut off with a crashed state after the dump completes. If @flags includes VIR_DUMP_LIVE, then make the core dump while continuing to allow the guest to run; otherwise, the guest is suspended during the dump. VIR_DUMP_RESET flag forces reset of the guest after dump. The above three flags are mutually exclusive. Additionally, if @flags includes VIR_DUMP_BYPASS_CACHE, then libvirt will attempt to bypass the file system cache while creating the file, or fail if it cannot do so for the given system; this can allow less pressure on file system cache, but also risks slowing saves to NFS.

domain:a domain object
to:path for the core file
dumpformat:format of domain memory's dump
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainCoreDumpFlags
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainCreate ()

int	virDomainCreate			(virDomainPtr domain)

Launch a defined domain. If the call succeeds the domain moves from the defined to the running domains pools. The domain will be paused only if restoring from managed state created from a paused domain. For more control, see virDomainCreateWithFlags().

domain:pointer to a defined domain
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of error

virDomainCreateLinux ()

virDomainPtr	virDomainCreateLinux	(virConnectPtr conn, 
const char * xmlDesc,
unsigned int flags)

Deprecated after 0.4.6. Renamed to virDomainCreateXML() providing identical functionality. This existing name will left indefinitely for API compatibility.

conn:pointer to the hypervisor connection
xmlDesc:string containing an XML description of the domain
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:a new domain object or NULL in case of failure

virDomainCreateWithFiles ()

int	virDomainCreateWithFiles	(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned int nfiles,
int * files,
unsigned int flags)

Launch a defined domain. If the call succeeds the domain moves from the defined to the running domains pools. @files provides an array of file descriptors which will be made available to the 'init' process of the guest. The file handles exposed to the guest will be renumbered to start from 3 (ie immediately following stderr). This is only supported for guests which use container based virtualization technology. If the VIR_DOMAIN_START_PAUSED flag is set, or if the guest domain has a managed save image that requested paused state (see virDomainManagedSave()) the guest domain will be started, but its CPUs will remain paused. The CPUs can later be manually started using virDomainResume(). In all other cases, the guest domain will be running. If the VIR_DOMAIN_START_AUTODESTROY flag is set, the guest domain will be automatically destroyed when the virConnectPtr object is finally released. This will also happen if the client application crashes / loses its connection to the libvirtd daemon. Any domains marked for auto destroy will block attempts at migration, save-to-file, or snapshots. If the VIR_DOMAIN_START_BYPASS_CACHE flag is set, and there is a managed save file for this domain (created by virDomainManagedSave()), then libvirt will attempt to bypass the file system cache while restoring the file, or fail if it cannot do so for the given system; this can allow less pressure on file system cache, but also risks slowing loads from NFS. If the VIR_DOMAIN_START_FORCE_BOOT flag is set, then any managed save file for this domain is discarded, and the domain boots from scratch.

domain:pointer to a defined domain
nfiles:number of file descriptors passed
files:list of file descriptors passed
flags:bitwise-OR of supported virDomainCreateFlags
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of error

virDomainCreateWithFlags ()

int	virDomainCreateWithFlags	(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned int flags)

Launch a defined domain. If the call succeeds the domain moves from the defined to the running domains pools. If the VIR_DOMAIN_START_PAUSED flag is set, or if the guest domain has a managed save image that requested paused state (see virDomainManagedSave()) the guest domain will be started, but its CPUs will remain paused. The CPUs can later be manually started using virDomainResume(). In all other cases, the guest domain will be running. If the VIR_DOMAIN_START_AUTODESTROY flag is set, the guest domain will be automatically destroyed when the virConnectPtr object is finally released.

Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of error

virDomainCreateXML ()

virDomainPtr	virDomainCreateXML	(virConnectPtr conn, 
const char * xmlDesc,
unsigned int flags)

Launch a new guest domain, based on an XML description similar to the one returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc() This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor. The domain is not persistent, so its definition will disappear when it is destroyed, or if the host is restarted (see virDomainDefineXML() to define persistent domains). If the VIR_DOMAIN_START_PAUSED flag is set, the guest domain will be started, but its CPUs will remain paused. The CPUs can later be manually started using virDomainResume. If the VIR_DOMAIN_START_AUTODESTROY flag is set, the guest domain will be automatically destroyed when the virConnectPtr object is finally released. This will also happen if the client application crashes / loses its connection to the libvirtd daemon. Any domains marked for auto destroy will block attempts at migration, save-to-file, or snapshots. virDomainFree should be used to free the resources after the domain object is no longer needed.

conn:pointer to the hypervisor connection
xmlDesc:string containing an XML description of the domain
flags:bitwise-OR of supported virDomainCreateFlags
Returns:a new domain object or NULL in case of failure

virDomainCreateXMLWithFiles ()

virDomainPtr	virDomainCreateXMLWithFiles	(virConnectPtr conn, 
const char * xmlDesc,
unsigned int nfiles,
int * files,
unsigned int flags)

Launch a new guest domain, based on an XML description similar to the one returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc() This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor. The domain is not persistent, so its definition will disappear when it is destroyed, or if the host is restarted (see virDomainDefineXML() to define persistent domains). @files provides an array of file descriptors which will be made available to the 'init' process of the guest. The file handles exposed to the guest will be renumbered to start from 3 (ie immediately following stderr). This is only supported for guests which use container based virtualization technology.

xmlDesc:string containing an XML description of the domain
nfiles:number of file descriptors passed
files:list of file descriptors passed
flags:bitwise-OR of supported virDomainCreateFlags
Returns:a new domain object or NULL in case of failure

virDomainDefineXML ()

virDomainPtr	virDomainDefineXML	(virConnectPtr conn, 
const char * xml)

Define a domain, but does not start it. This definition is persistent, until explicitly undefined with virDomainUndefine(). A previous definition for this domain would be overridden if it already exists. Some hypervisors may prevent this operation if there is a current block copy operation on a transient domain with the same id as the domain being defined; in that case, use virDomainBlockJobAbort() to stop the block copy first. virDomainFree should be used to free the resources after the domain object is no longer needed.

conn:pointer to the hypervisor connection
xml:the XML description for the domain, preferably in UTF-8
Returns:NULL in case of error, a pointer to the domain otherwise

virDomainDestroy ()

int	virDomainDestroy		(virDomainPtr domain)

Destroy the domain object. The running instance is shutdown if not down already and all resources used by it are given back to the hypervisor. This does not free the associated virDomainPtr object. This function may require privileged access. virDomainDestroy first requests that a guest terminate (e.g. SIGTERM), then waits for it to comply. After a reasonable timeout, if the guest still exists, virDomainDestroy will forcefully terminate the guest (e.g. SIGKILL) if necessary (which may produce undesirable results, for example unflushed disk cache in the guest). To avoid this possibility, it's recommended to instead call virDomainDestroyFlags, sending the VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL flag. If the domain is transient and has any snapshot metadata (see virDomainSnapshotNum()), then that metadata will automatically be deleted when the domain quits.

domain:a domain object
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainDestroyFlags ()

int	virDomainDestroyFlags		(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned int flags)

Destroy the domain object. The running instance is shutdown if not down already and all resources used by it are given back to the hypervisor. This does not free the associated virDomainPtr object. This function may require privileged access. Calling this function with no @flags set (equal to zero) is equivalent to calling virDomainDestroy, and after a reasonable timeout will forcefully terminate the guest (e.g. SIGKILL) if necessary (which may produce undesirable results, for example unflushed disk cache in the guest). Including VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL in the flags will prevent the forceful termination of the guest, and virDomainDestroyFlags will instead return an error if the guest doesn't terminate by the end of the timeout; at that time, the management application can decide if calling again without VIR_DOMAIN_DESTROY_GRACEFUL is appropriate. Another alternative which may produce cleaner results for the guest's disks is to use virDomainShutdown() instead, but that depends on guest support (some hypervisor/guest combinations may ignore the shutdown request).

domain:a domain object
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainDestroyFlagsValues
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainDetachDevice ()

int	virDomainDetachDevice		(virDomainPtr domain, 
const char * xml)

Destroy a virtual device attachment to backend. This function, having hot-unplug semantics, is only allowed on an active domain. Be aware that hotplug changes might not persist across a domain going into S4 state (also known as hibernation) unless you also modify the persistent domain definition.

domain:pointer to domain object
xml:pointer to XML description of one device
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virDomainDetachDeviceFlags ()

int	virDomainDetachDeviceFlags	(virDomainPtr domain, 
const char * xml,
unsigned int flags)

Detach a virtual device from a domain, using the flags parameter to control how the device is detached. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT specifies that the device allocation is removed based on current domain state. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE specifies that the device shall be deallocated from the active domain instance only and is not from the persisted domain configuration. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG specifies that the device shall be deallocated from the persisted domain configuration only. Note that the target hypervisor must return an error if unable to satisfy flags. E.g. the hypervisor driver will return failure if LIVE is specified but it only supports removing the persisted device allocation. Some hypervisors may prevent this operation if there is a current block copy operation on the device being detached; in that case, use virDomainBlockJobAbort() to stop the block copy first. Beware that depending on the hypervisor and device type, detaching a device from a running domain may be asynchronous. That is, calling virDomainDetachDeviceFlags may just request device removal while the device is actually removed later (in cooperation with a guest OS). Previously, this fact was ignored and the device could have been removed from domain configuration before it was actually removed by the hypervisor causing various failures on subsequent operations. To check whether the device was successfully removed, either recheck domain configuration using virDomainGetXMLDesc() or add handler for VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_DEVICE_REMOVED event. In case the device is already gone when virDomainDetachDeviceFlags returns, the event is delivered before this API call ends. To help existing clients work better in most cases, this API will try to transform an asynchronous device removal that finishes shortly after the request into a synchronous removal. In other words, this API may wait a bit for the removal to complete in case it was not synchronous. Be aware that hotplug changes might not persist across a domain going into S4 state (also known as hibernation) unless you also modify the persistent domain definition.

domain:pointer to domain object
xml:pointer to XML description of one device
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainDeviceModifyFlags
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virDomainFSFreeze ()

int	virDomainFSFreeze		(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char ** mountpoints,
unsigned int nmountpoints,
unsigned int flags)

Freeze specified filesystems within the guest (hence guest agent may be required depending on hypervisor used). If @mountpoints is NULL and @nmountpoints is 0, every mounted filesystem on the guest is frozen. In some environments (e.g. QEMU guest with guest agent which doesn't support mountpoints argument), @mountpoints may need to be NULL.

dom:a domain object
mountpoints:list of mount points to be frozen
nmountpoints:the number of mount points specified in @mountpoints
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:the number of frozen filesystems on success, -1 otherwise.

virDomainFSThaw ()

int	virDomainFSThaw			(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char ** mountpoints,
unsigned int nmountpoints,
unsigned int flags)

Thaw specified filesystems within the guest. If @mountpoints is NULL and @nmountpoints is 0, every mounted filesystem on the guest is thawed. In some drivers (e.g. QEMU driver), @mountpoints may need to be NULL.

dom:a domain object
mountpoints:list of mount points to be thawed
nmountpoints:the number of mount points specified in @mountpoints
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:the number of thawed filesystems on success, -1 otherwise.

virDomainFSTrim ()

int	virDomainFSTrim			(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char * mountPoint,
unsigned long long minimum,
unsigned int flags)

Calls FITRIM within the guest (hence guest agent may be required depending on hypervisor used). Either call it on each mounted filesystem (@mountPoint is NULL) or just on specified @mountPoint. @minimum hints that free ranges smaller than this may be ignored (this is a hint and the guest may not respect it). By increasing this value, the fstrim operation will complete more quickly for filesystems with badly fragmented free space, although not all blocks will be discarded. If @minimum is not zero, the command may fail.

dom:a domain object
mountPoint:which mount point to trim
minimum:Minimum contiguous free range to discard in bytes
flags:extra flags, not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:0 on success, -1 otherwise.

virDomainFree ()

int	virDomainFree			(virDomainPtr domain)

Free the domain object. The running instance is kept alive. The data structure is freed and should not be used thereafter.

domain:a domain object
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainGetAutostart ()

int	virDomainGetAutostart		(virDomainPtr domain, 
int * autostart)

Provides a boolean value indicating whether the domain configured to be automatically started when the host machine boots.

domain:a domain object
autostart:the value returned
Returns:-1 in case of error, 0 in case of success

virDomainGetBlkioParameters ()

int	virDomainGetBlkioParameters	(virDomainPtr domain, 
virTypedParameterPtr params,
int * nparams,
unsigned int flags)

Get all blkio parameters. On input, @nparams gives the size of the @params array; on output, @nparams gives how many slots were filled with parameter information, which might be less but will not exceed the input value. As a special case, calling with @params as NULL and @nparams as 0 on input will cause @nparams on output to contain the number of parameters supported by the hypervisor. The caller should then allocate @params array, i.e. (sizeof(@virTypedParameter) * @nparams) bytes and call the API again. See virDomainGetMemoryParameters() for an equivalent usage example. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor. This function expects the caller to allocate the @params.

domain:pointer to domain object
params:pointer to blkio parameter object (return value, allocated by the caller)
nparams:pointer to number of blkio parameters; input and output
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainModificationImpact and virTypedParameterFlags
Returns:-1 in case of error, 0 in case of success.

virDomainGetBlockInfo ()

int	virDomainGetBlockInfo		(virDomainPtr domain, 
const char * disk,
virDomainBlockInfoPtr info,
unsigned int flags)

Extract information about a domain's block device. The @disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or (since 0.9.5) the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk. For QEMU domains, the allocation and physical virDomainBlockInfo values returned will generally be the same, except when using a non raw, block backing device, such as qcow2 for an active domain. When the persistent domain is not active, QEMU will return the default which is the same value for allocation and physical. Active QEMU domains can return an allocation value which is more representative of the currently used blocks by the device compared to the physical size of the device. Applications can use/monitor the allocation value with the understanding that if the domain becomes inactive during an attempt to get the value, the default values will be returned. Thus, the application should check after the call for the domain being inactive if the values are the same. Optionally, the application could be watching for a shutdown event and then ignore any values received afterwards. This can be an issue when a domain is being migrated and the exact timing of the domain being made inactive and check of the allocation value results the default being returned. For a transient domain in the similar situation, this call will return -1 and an error message indicating the "domain is not running". The following is some pseudo code illustrating the call sequence: ... virDomainPtr dom; virDomainBlockInfo info; char *device; ... // Either get a list of all domains or a specific domain // via a virDomainLookupBy*() call. // // It's also required to fill in the device pointer, but that's // specific to the implementation. For the purposes of this example // a qcow2 backed device name string would need to be provided. ... // If the following call is made on a persistent domain with a // qcow2 block backed block device, then it's possible the returned // allocation equals the physical value. In that case, the domain // that may have been active prior to calling has become inactive, // such as is the case during a domain migration. Thus once we // get data returned, check for active domain when the values are // the same. if (virDomainGetBlockInfo(dom, device, &info, 0) < 0) goto failure; if (info.allocation == info.physical) { // If the domain is no longer active, // then the defaults are being returned. if (!virDomainIsActive()) goto ignore_return; } // Do something with the allocation and physical values ...

domain:a domain object
disk:path to the block device, or device shorthand
info:pointer to a virDomainBlockInfo structure allocated by the user
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainGetBlockIoTune ()

int	virDomainGetBlockIoTune		(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char * disk,
virTypedParameterPtr params,
int * nparams,
unsigned int flags)

Get all block IO tunable parameters for a given device. On input, @nparams gives the size of the @params array; on output, @nparams gives how many slots were filled with parameter information, which might be less but will not exceed the input value. As a special case, calling with @params as NULL and @nparams as 0 on input will cause @nparams on output to contain the number of parameters supported by the hypervisor, either for the given @disk (note that block devices of different types might support different parameters), or if @disk is NULL, for all possible disks. The caller should then allocate @params array, i.e. (sizeof(@virTypedParameter) * @nparams) bytes and call the API again. See virDomainGetMemoryParameters() for more details. The @disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "xvda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk. This parameter cannot be NULL unless @nparams is 0 on input.

virDomainGetBlockJobInfo ()

int	virDomainGetBlockJobInfo	(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char * disk,
virDomainBlockJobInfoPtr info,
unsigned int flags)

Request block job information for the given disk. If an operation is active @info will be updated with the current progress. The units used for the bandwidth field of @info depends on @flags. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_JOB_INFO_BANDWIDTH_BYTES, bandwidth is in bytes/second (although this mode can risk failure due to overflow, depending on both client and server word size); otherwise, the value is rounded up to MiB/s. The @disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or (since 0.9.5) the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "vda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk.

dom:pointer to domain object
disk:path to the block device, or device shorthand
info:pointer to a virDomainBlockJobInfo structure
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainBlockJobInfoFlags
Returns:-1 in case of failure, 0 when nothing found, 1 when info was found.

virDomainGetCPUStats ()

int	virDomainGetCPUStats		(virDomainPtr domain, 
virTypedParameterPtr params,
unsigned int nparams,
int start_cpu,
unsigned int ncpus,
unsigned int flags)

Get statistics relating to CPU usage attributable to a single domain (in contrast to the statistics returned by virNodeGetCPUStats() for all processes on the host). @dom must be running (an inactive domain has no attributable cpu usage). On input, @params must contain at least @nparams * @ncpus entries, allocated by the caller. If @start_cpu is -1, then @ncpus must be 1, and the returned results reflect the statistics attributable to the entire domain (such as user and system time for the process as a whole). Otherwise, @start_cpu represents which cpu to start with, and @ncpus represents how many consecutive processors to query, with statistics attributable per processor (such as per-cpu usage). If @ncpus is larger than the number of cpus available to query, then the trailing part of the array will be unpopulated. The remote driver imposes a limit of 128 @ncpus and 16 @nparams; the number of parameters per cpu should not exceed 16, but if you have a host with more than 128 CPUs, your program should split the request into multiple calls. As special cases, if @params is NULL and @nparams is 0 and @ncpus is 1, and the return value will be how many statistics are available for the given @start_cpu. This number may be different for @start_cpu of -1 than for any non-negative value, but will be the same for all non-negative @start_cpu. Likewise, if @params is NULL and @nparams is 0 and @ncpus is 0, the number of cpus available to query is returned. From the host perspective, this would typically match the cpus member of virNodeGetInfo(), but might be less due to host cpu hotplug. For now, @flags is unused, and the statistics all relate to the usage from the host perspective. It is possible that a future version will support a flag that queries the cpu usage from the guest's perspective, where the maximum cpu to query would be related to virDomainGetVcpusFlags() rather than virNodeGetInfo(). An individual guest vcpu cannot be reliably mapped back to a specific host cpu unless a single-processor vcpu pinning was used, but when @start_cpu is -1, any difference in usage between a host and guest perspective would serve as a measure of hypervisor overhead. Typical use sequence is below. getting total stats: set start_cpu as -1, ncpus 1 virDomainGetCPUStats(dom, NULL, 0, -1, 1, 0) => nparams params = calloc(nparams, sizeof(virTypedParameter)) virDomainGetCPUStats(dom, params, nparams, -1, 1, 0) => total stats. getting per-cpu stats: virDomainGetCPUStats(dom, NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0) => ncpus virDomainGetCPUStats(dom, NULL, 0, 0, 1, 0) => nparams params = calloc(ncpus * nparams, sizeof(virTypedParameter)) virDomainGetCPUStats(dom, params, nparams, 0, ncpus, 0) => per-cpu stats

domain:domain to query
params:array to populate on output
nparams:number of parameters per cpu
start_cpu:which cpu to start with, or -1 for summary
ncpus:how many cpus to query
flags:bitwise-OR of virTypedParameterFlags
Returns:-1 on failure, or the number of statistics that were populated per cpu on success (this will be less than the total number of populated @params, unless @ncpus was 1; and may be less than @nparams). The populated parameters start at each stride of @nparams, which means the results may be discontiguous; any unpopulated parameters will be zeroed on success (this includes skipped elements if @nparams is too large, and tail elements if @ncpus is too large). The caller is responsible for freeing any returned string parameters.

virDomainGetConnect ()

virConnectPtr	virDomainGetConnect	(virDomainPtr dom)

Provides the connection pointer associated with a domain. The reference counter on the connection is not increased by this call. WARNING: When writing libvirt bindings in other languages, do not use this function. Instead, store the connection and the domain object together.

dom:pointer to a domain
Returns:the virConnectPtr or NULL in case of failure.

virDomainGetControlInfo ()

int	virDomainGetControlInfo		(virDomainPtr domain, 
virDomainControlInfoPtr info,
unsigned int flags)

Extract details about current state of control interface to a domain.

domain:a domain object
info:pointer to a virDomainControlInfo structure allocated by the user
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainGetDiskErrors ()

int	virDomainGetDiskErrors		(virDomainPtr dom, 
virDomainDiskErrorPtr errors,
unsigned int maxerrors,
unsigned int flags)

The function populates @errors array with all disks that encountered an I/O error. Disks with no error will not be returned in the @errors array. Each disk is identified by its target (the dev attribute of target subelement in domain XML), such as "vda", and accompanied with the error that was seen on it. The caller is also responsible for calling free() on each disk name returned. In a special case when @errors is NULL and @maxerrors is 0, the function returns preferred size of @errors that the caller should use to get all disk errors. Since calling virDomainGetDiskErrors(dom, NULL, 0, 0) to get preferred size of @errors array and getting the errors are two separate operations, new disks may be hotplugged to the domain and new errors may be encountered between the two calls. Thus, this function may not return all disk errors because the supplied array is not large enough. Such errors may, however, be detected by listening to domain events.

dom:a domain object
errors:array to populate on output
maxerrors:size of @errors array
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:number of disks with errors filled in the @errors array or -1 on error.

domain:pointer to domain object, or NULL for Domain0
cpumap:pointer to a bit map of real CPUs for all emulator threads of this domain (in 8-bit bytes) (OUT) There is only one cpumap for all emulator threads. Must not be NULL.
maplen:the number of bytes in one cpumap, from 1 up to size of CPU map. Must be positive.
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainModificationImpact Must not be VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE and VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG concurrently.
Returns:1 in case of success, 0 in case of no emulator threads are pined to pcpus, -1 in case of failure.

virDomainGetHostname ()

char *	virDomainGetHostname		(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned int flags)

Get the hostname for that domain. Dependent on hypervisor used, this may require a guest agent to be available.

domain:a domain object
info:pointer to a virDomainInfo structure allocated by the user
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainGetInterfaceParameters ()

int	virDomainGetInterfaceParameters	(virDomainPtr domain, 
const char * device,
virTypedParameterPtr params,
int * nparams,
unsigned int flags)

Get all interface parameters. On input, @nparams gives the size of the @params array; on output, @nparams gives how many slots were filled with parameter information, which might be less but will not exceed the input value. As a special case, calling with @params as NULL and @nparams as 0 on input will cause @nparams on output to contain the number of parameters supported by the hypervisor. The caller should then allocate @params array, i.e. (sizeof(@virTypedParameter) * @nparams) bytes and call the API again. See virDomainGetMemoryParameters() for an equivalent usage example. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor. This function expects the caller to allocate the @params.

domain:pointer to domain object
device:the interface name or mac address
params:pointer to interface parameter objects (return value, allocated by the caller)
nparams:pointer to number of interface parameter; input and output
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainModificationImpact and virTypedParameterFlags

virDomainGetJobInfo ()

int	virDomainGetJobInfo		(virDomainPtr domain, 
virDomainJobInfoPtr info)

domain:a domain object
info:pointer to a virDomainJobInfo structure allocated by the user
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainGetJobStats ()

int	virDomainGetJobStats		(virDomainPtr domain, 
int * type,
virTypedParameterPtr * params,
int * nparams,
unsigned int flags)

Extract information about progress of a background job on a domain. Will return an error if the domain is not active. The function returns a superset of progress information provided by virDomainGetJobInfo. Possible fields returned in @params are defined by VIR_DOMAIN_JOB_* macros and new fields will likely be introduced in the future so callers may receive fields that they do not understand in case they talk to a newer server. When @flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_JOB_STATS_COMPLETED, the function will return statistics about a recently completed job. Specifically, this flag may be used to query statistics of a completed incoming migration. Statistics of a completed job are automatically destroyed once read or when libvirtd is restarted. Note that time information returned for completed migrations may be completely irrelevant unless both source and destination hosts have synchronized time (i.e., NTP daemon is running on both of them).

domain:a domain object
type:where to store the job type (one of virDomainJobType)
params:where to store job statistics
nparams:number of items in @params
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainGetJobStatsFlags
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainGetMaxMemory ()

unsigned long	virDomainGetMaxMemory	(virDomainPtr domain)

virDomainGetMaxVcpus ()

int	virDomainGetMaxVcpus		(virDomainPtr domain)

Provides the maximum number of virtual CPUs supported for the guest VM. If the guest is inactive, this is basically the same as virConnectGetMaxVcpus(). If the guest is running this will reflect the maximum number of virtual CPUs the guest was booted with. For more details, see virDomainGetVcpusFlags().

domain:pointer to domain object
Returns:the maximum of virtual CPU or -1 in case of error.

virDomainGetMemoryParameters ()

int	virDomainGetMemoryParameters	(virDomainPtr domain, 
virTypedParameterPtr params,
int * nparams,
unsigned int flags)

Get all memory parameters. On input, @nparams gives the size of the @params array; on output, @nparams gives how many slots were filled with parameter information, which might be less but will not exceed the input value. As a special case, calling with @params as NULL and @nparams as 0 on input will cause @nparams on output to contain the number of parameters supported by the hypervisor. The caller should then allocate @params array, i.e. (sizeof(@virTypedParameter) * @nparams) bytes and call the API again. Here is a sample code snippet: if (virDomainGetMemoryParameters(dom, NULL, &nparams, 0) == 0 && nparams != 0) { if ((params = malloc(sizeof(*params) * nparams)) == NULL) goto error; memset(params, 0, sizeof(*params) * nparams); if (virDomainGetMemoryParameters(dom, params, &nparams, 0)) goto error; } This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor. This function expects the caller to allocate the @params.

virDomainGetMetadata ()

char *	virDomainGetMetadata		(virDomainPtr domain, 
int type,
const char * uri,
unsigned int flags)

Retrieves the appropriate domain element given by @type. If VIR_DOMAIN_METADATA_ELEMENT is requested parameter @uri must be set to the name of the namespace the requested elements belong to, otherwise must be NULL. If an element of the domain XML is not present, the resulting error will be VIR_ERR_NO_DOMAIN_METADATA. This method forms a shortcut for seeing information from virDomainSetMetadata() without having to go through virDomainGetXMLDesc(). @flags controls whether the live domain or persistent configuration will be queried.

domain:a domain object
type:type of metadata, from virDomainMetadataType
uri:XML namespace identifier
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainModificationImpact
Returns:the metadata string on success (caller must free), or NULL in case of failure.

int * nparams,
unsigned int flags)

Get all numa parameters. On input, @nparams gives the size of the @params array; on output, @nparams gives how many slots were filled with parameter information, which might be less but will not exceed the input value. As a special case, calling with @params as NULL and @nparams as 0 on input will cause @nparams on output to contain the number of parameters supported by the hypervisor. The caller should then allocate @params array, i.e. (sizeof(@virTypedParameter) * @nparams) bytes and call the API again. See virDomainGetMemoryParameters() for an equivalent usage example. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor. This function expects the caller to allocate the @params.

Get all scheduler parameters. On input, @nparams gives the size of the @params array; on output, @nparams gives how many slots were filled with parameter information, which might be less but will not exceed the input value. @nparams cannot be 0. It is hypervisor specific whether this returns the live or persistent state; for more control, use virDomainGetSchedulerParametersFlags().

domain:pointer to domain object
params:pointer to scheduler parameter objects (return value)
nparams:pointer to number of scheduler parameter objects (this value should generally be as large as the returned value nparams of virDomainGetSchedulerType()); input and output

Returns:the number of info filled in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virDomainGetVcpusFlags ()

int	virDomainGetVcpusFlags		(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned int flags)

Query the number of virtual CPUs used by the domain. Note that this call may fail if the underlying virtualization hypervisor does not support it. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE, this will query a running domain (which will fail if domain is not active); if it includes VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG, this will query the XML description of the domain. It is an error to set both flags. If neither flag is set (that is, VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT), then the configuration queried depends on whether the domain is currently running. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_VCPU_MAXIMUM, then the maximum virtual CPU limit is queried. Otherwise, this call queries the current virtual CPU count. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_VCPU_GUEST, then the state of the processors is queried in the guest instead of the hypervisor. This flag is only usable on live domains. Guest agent may be needed for this flag to be available.

domain:pointer to domain object, or NULL for Domain0
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainVcpuFlags
Returns:the number of vCPUs in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virDomainGetXMLDesc ()

No security-sensitive data will be included unless @flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE; this flag is rejected on read-only connections. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE, then the XML represents the configuration that will be used on the next boot of a persistent domain; otherwise, the configuration represents the currently running domain. If @flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU, then the portion of the domain XML describing CPU capabilities is modified to match actual capabilities of the host.

domain:a domain object
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainXMLFlags
Returns:a 0 terminated UTF-8 encoded XML instance, or NULL in case of error. the caller must free() the returned value.

virDomainHasCurrentSnapshot ()

int	virDomainHasCurrentSnapshot	(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned int flags)

Determine if the domain has a current snapshot.

domain:pointer to the domain object

virDomainHasManagedSaveImage ()

int	virDomainHasManagedSaveImage	(virDomainPtr dom, 
unsigned int flags)

Check if a domain has a managed save image as created by virDomainManagedSave(). Note that any running domain should not have such an image, as it should have been removed on restart.

unsigned int flags)

Send NMI to the guest

virDomainInterfaceStats ()

int	virDomainInterfaceStats		(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char * path,
virDomainInterfaceStatsPtr stats,
size_t size)

This function returns network interface stats for interfaces attached to the domain. The path parameter is the name of the network interface. Domains may have more than one network interface. To get stats for each you should make multiple calls to this function. Individual fields within the stats structure may be returned as -1, which indicates that the hypervisor does not support that particular statistic.

dom:pointer to the domain object
path:path to the interface
stats:network interface stats (returned)
size:size of stats structure
Returns:0 in case of success or -1 in case of failure.

virDomainIsActive ()

int	virDomainIsActive		(virDomainPtr dom)

Determine if the domain is currently running

dom:pointer to the domain object
Returns:1 if running, 0 if inactive, -1 on error

virDomainListAllSnapshots ()

int	virDomainListAllSnapshots	(virDomainPtr domain, 
virDomainSnapshotPtr ** snaps,
unsigned int flags)

Collect the list of domain snapshots for the given domain, and allocate an array to store those objects. This API solves the race inherent in virDomainSnapshotListNames(). By default, this command covers all snapshots; it is also possible to limit things to just snapshots with no parents, when @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_ROOTS. Additional filters are provided in groups, where each group contains bits that describe mutually exclusive attributes of a snapshot, and where all bits within a group describe all possible snapshots. Some hypervisors might reject explicit bits from a group where the hypervisor cannot make a distinction. For a group supported by a given hypervisor, the behavior when no bits of a group are set is identical to the behavior when all bits in that group are set. When setting bits from more than one group, it is possible to select an impossible combination, in that case a hypervisor may return either 0 or an error. The first group of @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_LEAVES and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_NO_LEAVES, to filter based on snapshots that have no further children (a leaf snapshot). The next group of @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_METADATA and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_NO_METADATA, for filtering snapshots based on whether they have metadata that would prevent the removal of the last reference to a domain. The next group of @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_INACTIVE, VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_ACTIVE, and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_DISK_ONLY, for filtering snapshots based on what domain state is tracked by the snapshot. The next group of @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_INTERNAL and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_EXTERNAL, for filtering snapshots based on whether the snapshot is stored inside the disk images or as additional files.

domain:a domain object
snaps:pointer to variable to store the array containing snapshot objects, or NULL if the list is not required (just returns number of snapshots)
flags:bitwise-OR of supported virDomainSnapshotListFlags
Returns:the number of domain snapshots found or -1 and sets @snaps to NULL in case of error. On success, the array stored into @snaps is guaranteed to have an extra allocated element set to NULL but not included in the return count, to make iteration easier. The caller is responsible for calling virDomainSnapshotFree() on each array element, then calling free() on @snaps.

virDomainListGetStats ()

int	virDomainListGetStats		(virDomainPtr * doms, 
unsigned int stats,
virDomainStatsRecordPtr ** retStats,
unsigned int flags)

Query statistics for domains provided by @doms. Note that all domains in @doms must share the same connection. Report statistics of various parameters for a running VM according to @stats field. The statistics are returned as an array of structures for each queried domain. The structure contains an array of typed parameters containing the individual statistics. The typed parameter name for each statistic field consists of a dot-separated string containing name of the requested group followed by a group specific description of the statistic value. The statistic groups are enabled using the @stats parameter which is a binary-OR of enum virDomainStatsTypes. The stats groups are documented in virConnectGetAllDomainStats. Using 0 for @stats returns all stats groups supported by the given hypervisor. Specifying VIR_CONNECT_GET_ALL_DOMAINS_STATS_ENFORCE_STATS as @flags makes the function return error in case some of the stat types in @stats were not recognized by the daemon. Note that any of the domain list filtering flags in @flags will be rejected by this function.

doms:NULL terminated array of domains
stats:stats to return, binary-OR of virDomainStatsTypes
retStats:Pointer that will be filled with the array of returned stats
flags:extra flags; binary-OR of virConnectGetAllDomainStatsFlags
Returns:the count of returned statistics structures on success, -1 on error. The requested data are returned in the @retStats parameter. The returned array should be freed by the caller. See virDomainStatsRecordListFree. Note that the count of returned stats may be less than the domain count provided via @doms.

virDomainLookupByID ()

virDomainPtr	virDomainLookupByID	(virConnectPtr conn, 
int id)

Try to find a domain based on the hypervisor ID number Note that this won't work for inactive domains which have an ID of -1, in that case a lookup based on the Name or UUId need to be done instead. virDomainFree should be used to free the resources after the domain object is no longer needed.

conn:pointer to the hypervisor connection
id:the domain ID number
Returns:a new domain object or NULL in case of failure. If the domain cannot be found, then VIR_ERR_NO_DOMAIN error is raised.

virDomainLookupByName ()

virDomainPtr	virDomainLookupByName	(virConnectPtr conn, 
const char * name)

Try to lookup a domain on the given hypervisor based on its name. virDomainFree should be used to free the resources after the domain object is no longer needed.

conn:pointer to the hypervisor connection
name:name for the domain
Returns:a new domain object or NULL in case of failure. If the domain cannot be found, then VIR_ERR_NO_DOMAIN error is raised.

virDomainLookupByUUID ()

virDomainPtr	virDomainLookupByUUID	(virConnectPtr conn, 
const unsigned char * uuid)

Try to lookup a domain on the given hypervisor based on its UUID. virDomainFree should be used to free the resources after the domain object is no longer needed.

conn:pointer to the hypervisor connection
uuid:the raw UUID for the domain
Returns:a new domain object or NULL in case of failure. If the domain cannot be found, then VIR_ERR_NO_DOMAIN error is raised.

virDomainLookupByUUIDString ()

virDomainPtr	virDomainLookupByUUIDString	(virConnectPtr conn, 
const char * uuidstr)

Try to lookup a domain on the given hypervisor based on its UUID. virDomainFree should be used to free the resources after the domain object is no longer needed.

conn:pointer to the hypervisor connection
uuidstr:the string UUID for the domain
Returns:a new domain object or NULL in case of failure. If the domain cannot be found, then VIR_ERR_NO_DOMAIN error is raised.

virDomainManagedSave ()

int	virDomainManagedSave		(virDomainPtr dom, 
unsigned int flags)

This method will suspend a domain and save its memory contents to a file on disk. After the call, if successful, the domain is not listed as running anymore. The difference from virDomainSave() is that libvirt is keeping track of the saved state itself, and will reuse it once the domain is being restarted (automatically or via an explicit libvirt call). As a result any running domain is sure to not have a managed saved image. This also implies that managed save only works on persistent domains, since the domain must still exist in order to use virDomainCreate() to restart it. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_BYPASS_CACHE, then libvirt will attempt to bypass the file system cache while creating the file, or fail if it cannot do so for the given system; this can allow less pressure on file system cache, but also risks slowing saves to NFS. Normally, the managed saved state will remember whether the domain was running or paused, and start will resume to the same state. Specifying VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_RUNNING or VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PAUSED in @flags will override the default saved into the file. These two flags are mutually exclusive.

dom:pointer to the domain
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainSaveRestoreFlags
Returns:0 in case of success or -1 in case of failure

virDomainManagedSaveRemove ()

int	virDomainManagedSaveRemove	(virDomainPtr dom, 
unsigned int flags)

Remove any managed save image for this domain.

dom:pointer to the domain
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:0 in case of success, and -1 in case of error

virDomainMemoryPeek ()

int	virDomainMemoryPeek		(virDomainPtr dom, 
unsigned long long start,
size_t size,
void * buffer,
unsigned int flags)

This function allows you to read the contents of a domain's memory. The memory which is read is controlled by the 'start', 'size' and 'flags' parameters. If 'flags' is VIR_MEMORY_VIRTUAL then the 'start' and 'size' parameters are interpreted as virtual memory addresses for whichever task happens to be running on the domain at the moment. Although this sounds haphazard it is in fact what you want in order to read Linux kernel state, because it ensures that pointers in the kernel image can be interpreted coherently. 'buffer' is the return buffer and must be at least 'size' bytes. 'size' may be 0 to test if the call would succeed. NB. The remote driver imposes a 64K byte limit on 'size'. For your program to be able to work reliably over a remote connection you should split large requests to <= 65536 bytes. However, with 0.9.13 this RPC limit has been raised to 1M byte. Starting with version 1.0.6 the RPC limit has been raised again. Now large requests up to 16M byte are supported.

dom:pointer to the domain object
start:start of memory to peek
size:size of memory to peek
buffer:return buffer (must be at least size bytes)
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainMemoryFlags
Returns:0 in case of success or -1 in case of failure. really 64 bits

virDomainMemoryStats ()

int	virDomainMemoryStats		(virDomainPtr dom, 
virDomainMemoryStatPtr stats,
unsigned int nr_stats,
unsigned int flags)

This function provides memory statistics for the domain. Up to 'nr_stats' elements of 'stats' will be populated with memory statistics from the domain. Only statistics supported by the domain, the driver, and this version of libvirt will be returned. Memory Statistics: VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_SWAP_IN: The total amount of data read from swap space (in kb). VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_SWAP_OUT: The total amount of memory written out to swap space (in kb). VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_MAJOR_FAULT: The number of page faults that required disk IO to service. VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_MINOR_FAULT: The number of page faults serviced without disk IO. VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_UNUSED: The amount of memory which is not being used for any purpose (in kb). VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_AVAILABLE: The total amount of memory available to the domain's OS (in kb). VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_STAT_ACTUAL_BALLOON: Current balloon value (in kb).

dom:pointer to the domain object
stats:nr_stats-sized array of stat structures (returned)
nr_stats:number of memory statistics requested
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:The number of stats provided or -1 in case of failure.

virDomainMigrate ()

virDomainPtr	virDomainMigrate	(virDomainPtr domain, 
virConnectPtr dconn,
unsigned long flags,
const char * dname,
const char * uri,
unsigned long bandwidth)

Migrate the domain object from its current host to the destination host given by dconn (a connection to the destination host). Flags may be one of more of the following: VIR_MIGRATE_LIVE Do not pause the VM during migration VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER Direct connection between source & destination hosts VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED Tunnel migration data over the libvirt RPC channel VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST If the migration is successful, persist the domain on the destination host. VIR_MIGRATE_UNDEFINE_SOURCE If the migration is successful, undefine the domain on the source host. VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED Leave the domain suspended on the remote side. VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK Migration with non-shared storage with full disk copy VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC Migration with non-shared storage with incremental disk copy VIR_MIGRATE_CHANGE_PROTECTION Protect against domain configuration changes during the migration process (set automatically when supported). VIR_MIGRATE_UNSAFE Force migration even if it is considered unsafe. VIR_MIGRATE_OFFLINE Migrate offline VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED requires that VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER be set. Applications using the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag will probably prefer to invoke virDomainMigrateToURI, avoiding the need to open connection to the destination host themselves. If a hypervisor supports renaming domains during migration, then you may set the dname parameter to the new name (otherwise it keeps the same name). If this is not supported by the hypervisor, dname must be NULL or else you will get an error. If the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag is set, the uri parameter must be a valid libvirt connection URI, by which the source libvirt driver can connect to the destination libvirt. If omitted, the dconn connection object will be queried for its current URI. If the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag is NOT set, the URI parameter takes a hypervisor specific format. The hypervisor capabilities XML includes details of the support URI schemes. If omitted the dconn will be asked for a default URI. If you want to copy non-shared storage within migration you can use either VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK or VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC as they are mutually exclusive. In either case it is typically only necessary to specify a URI if the destination host has multiple interfaces and a specific interface is required to transmit migration data. The maximum bandwidth (in MiB/s) that will be used to do migration can be specified with the bandwidth parameter. If set to 0, libvirt will choose a suitable default. Some hypervisors do not support this feature and will return an error if bandwidth is not 0. To see which features are supported by the current hypervisor, see virConnectGetCapabilities, /capabilities/host/migration_features. There are many limitations on migration imposed by the underlying technology - for example it may not be possible to migrate between different processors even with the same architecture, or between different types of hypervisor. virDomainFree should be used to free the resources after the returned domain object is no longer needed.

domain:a domain object
dconn:destination host (a connection object)
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainMigrateFlags
dname:(optional) rename domain to this at destination
uri:(optional) dest hostname/URI as seen from the source host
bandwidth:(optional) specify migration bandwidth limit in MiB/s
Returns:the new domain object if the migration was successful, or NULL in case of error. Note that the new domain object exists in the scope of the destination connection (dconn).

virDomainMigrate2 ()

virDomainPtr	virDomainMigrate2	(virDomainPtr domain, 
virConnectPtr dconn,
const char * dxml,
unsigned long flags,
const char * dname,
const char * uri,
unsigned long bandwidth)

Migrate the domain object from its current host to the destination host given by dconn (a connection to the destination host). Flags may be one of more of the following: VIR_MIGRATE_LIVE Do not pause the VM during migration VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER Direct connection between source & destination hosts VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED Tunnel migration data over the libvirt RPC channel VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST If the migration is successful, persist the domain on the destination host. VIR_MIGRATE_UNDEFINE_SOURCE If the migration is successful, undefine the domain on the source host. VIR_MIGRATE_PAUSED Leave the domain suspended on the remote side. VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK Migration with non-shared storage with full disk copy VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC Migration with non-shared storage with incremental disk copy VIR_MIGRATE_CHANGE_PROTECTION Protect against domain configuration changes during the migration process (set automatically when supported). VIR_MIGRATE_UNSAFE Force migration even if it is considered unsafe. VIR_MIGRATE_OFFLINE Migrate offline VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED requires that VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER be set.

There are many limitations on migration imposed by the underlying technology - for example it may not be possible to migrate between different processors even with the same architecture, or between different types of hypervisor. If the hypervisor supports it, @dxml can be used to alter host-specific portions of the domain XML that will be used on the destination. For example, it is possible to alter the backing filename that is associated with a disk device, in order to account for naming differences between source and destination in accessing the underlying storage. The migration will fail if @dxml would cause any guest-visible changes. Pass NULL if no changes are needed to the XML between source and destination. @dxml cannot be used to rename the domain during migration (use @dname for that purpose). Domain name in @dxml must match the original domain name. virDomainFree should be used to free the resources after the returned domain object is no longer needed.

domain:a domain object
dconn:destination host (a connection object)
dxml:(optional) XML config for launching guest on target
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainMigrateFlags
dname:(optional) rename domain to this at destination
uri:(optional) dest hostname/URI as seen from the source host

See virDomainMigrateFlags documentation for description of individual flags. VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED and VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER are not supported by this API, use virDomainMigrateToURI3 instead. If you want to copy non-shared storage within migration you can use either VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK or VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC as they are mutually exclusive. There are many limitations on migration imposed by the underlying technology - for example it may not be possible to migrate between different processors even with the same architecture, or between different types of hypervisor. virDomainFree should be used to free the resources after the returned domain object is no longer needed.

unsigned long long cacheSize,
unsigned int flags)

Sets size of the cache (in bytes) used for compressing repeatedly transferred memory pages during live migration. It's supposed to be called while the domain is being live-migrated as a reaction to migration progress and increasing number of compression cache misses obtained from virDomainGetJobStats.

domain:a domain object
cacheSize:size of the cache (in bytes) used for compression
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 otherwise.

virDomainMigrateSetMaxDowntime ()

int	virDomainMigrateSetMaxDowntime	(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned long long downtime,

virDomainMigrateToURI ()

int	virDomainMigrateToURI		(virDomainPtr domain, 
const char * duri,
unsigned long flags,
const char * dname,
unsigned long bandwidth)

Migrate the domain object from its current host to the destination host given by duri. Flags may be one of more of the following: VIR_MIGRATE_LIVE Do not pause the VM during migration VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER Direct connection between source & destination hosts VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED Tunnel migration data over the libvirt RPC channel VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST If the migration is successful, persist the domain on the destination host.

VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK Migration with non-shared storage with full disk copy VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC Migration with non-shared storage with incremental disk copy VIR_MIGRATE_CHANGE_PROTECTION Protect against domain configuration changes during the migration process (set automatically when supported). VIR_MIGRATE_UNSAFE Force migration even if it is considered unsafe. VIR_MIGRATE_OFFLINE Migrate offline The operation of this API hinges on the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag. If the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag is NOT set, the duri parameter takes a hypervisor specific format. The uri_transports element of the hypervisor capabilities XML includes details of the supported URI schemes. Not all hypervisors will support this mode of migration, so if the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag is not set, then it may be necessary to use the alternative virDomainMigrate API providing and explicit virConnectPtr for the destination host. If the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag IS set, the duri parameter must be a valid libvirt connection URI, by which the source libvirt driver can connect to the destination libvirt. VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED requires that VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER be set. If you want to copy non-shared storage within migration you can use either VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK or VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC as they are mutually exclusive. If a hypervisor supports renaming domains during migration, the dname parameter specifies the new name for the domain. Setting dname to NULL keeps the domain name the same. If domain renaming is not supported by the hypervisor, dname must be NULL or else an error will be returned. The maximum bandwidth (in MiB/s) that will be used to do migration can be specified with the bandwidth parameter. If set to 0, libvirt will choose a suitable default. Some hypervisors do not support this feature and will return an error if bandwidth is not 0.

int	virDomainMigrateToURI2		(virDomainPtr domain, 
const char * dconnuri,
const char * miguri,
const char * dxml,
unsigned long flags,
const char * dname,
unsigned long bandwidth)

Migrate the domain object from its current host to the destination host given by duri. Flags may be one of more of the following: VIR_MIGRATE_LIVE Do not pause the VM during migration VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER Direct connection between source & destination hosts VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED Tunnel migration data over the libvirt RPC channel VIR_MIGRATE_PERSIST_DEST If the migration is successful, persist the domain on the destination host.

VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK Migration with non-shared storage with full disk copy VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC Migration with non-shared storage with incremental disk copy VIR_MIGRATE_CHANGE_PROTECTION Protect against domain configuration changes during the migration process (set automatically when supported). VIR_MIGRATE_UNSAFE Force migration even if it is considered unsafe. VIR_MIGRATE_OFFLINE Migrate offline The operation of this API hinges on the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag. If the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag is set, the @dconnuri parameter must be a valid libvirt connection URI, by which the source libvirt driver can connect to the destination libvirt. If the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag is NOT set, then @dconnuri must be NULL. If the VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED flag is NOT set, then the @miguri parameter allows specification of a URI to use to initiate the VM migration. It takes a hypervisor specific format. The uri_transports element of the hypervisor capabilities XML includes details of the supported URI schemes. VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED requires that VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER be set. If you want to copy non-shared storage within migration you can use either VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK or VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC as they are mutually exclusive. If a hypervisor supports changing the configuration of the guest during migration, the @dxml parameter specifies the new config for the guest. The configuration must include an identical set of virtual devices, to ensure a stable guest ABI across migration. Only parameters related to host side configuration can be changed in the XML. Hypervisors will validate this and refuse to allow migration if the provided XML would cause a change in the guest ABI, If a hypervisor supports renaming domains during migration, the dname parameter specifies the new name for the domain. Setting dname to NULL keeps the domain name the same. If domain renaming is not supported by the hypervisor, dname must be NULL or else an error will be returned. The maximum bandwidth (in MiB/s) that will be used to do migration can be specified with the bandwidth parameter. If set to 0, libvirt will choose a suitable default.

virDomainMigrateToURI3 ()

int	virDomainMigrateToURI3		(virDomainPtr domain, 
const char * dconnuri,
virTypedParameterPtr params,
unsigned int nparams,
unsigned int flags)

Migrate the domain object from its current host to the destination host given by URI. See virDomainMigrateFlags documentation for description of individual flags. The operation of this API hinges on the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag. If the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag is set, the @dconnuri parameter must be a valid libvirt connection URI, by which the source libvirt daemon can connect to the destination libvirt. If the VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER flag is NOT set, then @dconnuri must be NULL and VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_URI migration parameter must be filled in with hypervisor specific URI used to initiate the migration. This is called "direct" migration. VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED requires that VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER be set. If you want to copy non-shared storage within migration you can use either VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK or VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_INC as they are mutually exclusive. There are many limitations on migration imposed by the underlying technology - for example it may not be possible to migrate between different processors even with the same architecture, or between different types of hypervisor.

domain:a domain object
dconnuri:(optional) URI for target libvirtd if @flags includes VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER
params:(optional) migration parameters
nparams:(optional) number of migration parameters in @params

Returns:0 if the migration succeeded, -1 upon error.

virDomainOpenChannel ()

int	virDomainOpenChannel		(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char * name,
virStreamPtr st,
unsigned int flags)

This opens the host interface associated with a channel device on a guest, if the host interface is supported. If @name is given, it can match either the device alias (e.g. "channel0"), or the virtio target name (e.g. "org.qemu.guest_agent.0"). If @name is omitted, then the first channel is opened. The channel is associated with the passed in @st stream, which should have been opened in non-blocking mode for bi-directional I/O. By default, when @flags is 0, the open will fail if libvirt detects that the channel is already in use by another client; passing VIR_DOMAIN_CHANNEL_FORCE will cause libvirt to forcefully remove the other client prior to opening this channel.

dom:a domain object
name:the channel name, or NULL
st:a stream to associate with the channel
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainChannelFlags
Returns:0 if the channel was opened, -1 on error

virDomainOpenConsole ()

int	virDomainOpenConsole		(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char * dev_name,
virStreamPtr st,
unsigned int flags)

This opens the backend associated with a console, serial or parallel port device on a guest, if the backend is supported. If the @dev_name is omitted, then the first console or serial device is opened. The console is associated with the passed in @st stream, which should have been opened in non-blocking mode for bi-directional I/O. By default, when @flags is 0, the open will fail if libvirt detects that the console is already in use by another client; passing VIR_DOMAIN_CONSOLE_FORCE will cause libvirt to forcefully remove the other client prior to opening this console. If flag VIR_DOMAIN_CONSOLE_SAFE the console is opened only in the case where the hypervisor driver supports safe (mutually exclusive) console handling. Older servers did not support either flag, and also did not forbid simultaneous clients on a console, with potentially confusing results. When passing @flags of 0 in order to support a wider range of server versions, it is up to the client to ensure mutual exclusion.

dom:a domain object
dev_name:the console, serial or parallel port device alias, or NULL
st:a stream to associate with the console
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainConsoleFlags
Returns:0 if the console was opened, -1 on error

virDomainOpenGraphics ()

int	virDomainOpenGraphics		(virDomainPtr dom, 
unsigned int idx,
int fd,
unsigned int flags)

This will attempt to connect the file descriptor @fd, to the graphics backend of @dom. If @dom has multiple graphics backends configured, then @idx will determine which one is opened, starting from @idx 0. To disable any authentication, pass the VIR_DOMAIN_OPEN_GRAPHICS_SKIPAUTH constant for @flags. The caller should use an anonymous socketpair to open @fd before invocation. This method can only be used when connected to a local libvirt hypervisor, over a UNIX domain socket. Attempts to use this method over a TCP connection will always fail

dom:pointer to domain object
idx:index of graphics config to open
fd:file descriptor to attach graphics to
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainOpenGraphicsFlags
Returns:0 on success, -1 on failure

virDomainOpenGraphicsFD ()

int	virDomainOpenGraphicsFD		(virDomainPtr dom, 
unsigned int idx,
unsigned int flags)

This will create a socket pair connected to the graphics backend of @dom. One end of the socket will be returned on success, and the other end is handed to the hypervisor. If @dom has multiple graphics backends configured, then @idx will determine which one is opened, starting from @idx 0. To disable any authentication, pass the VIR_DOMAIN_OPEN_GRAPHICS_SKIPAUTH constant for @flags. This method can only be used when connected to a local libvirt hypervisor, over a UNIX domain socket. Attempts to use this method over a TCP connection will always fail.

dom:pointer to domain object
idx:index of graphics config to open
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainOpenGraphicsFlags
Returns:an fd on success, -1 on failure

virDomainPMSuspendForDuration ()

int	virDomainPMSuspendForDuration	(virDomainPtr dom, 
unsigned int target,
unsigned long long duration,
unsigned int flags)

Attempt to have the guest enter the given @target power management suspension level. If @duration is non-zero, also schedule the guest to resume normal operation after that many seconds, if nothing else has resumed it earlier. Some hypervisors require that @duration be 0, for an indefinite suspension. Dependent on hypervisor used, this may require a guest agent to be available, e.g. QEMU. Beware that at least for QEMU, the domain's process will be terminated when VIR_NODE_SUSPEND_TARGET_DISK is used and a new process will be launched when libvirt is asked to wake up the domain. As a result of this, any runtime changes, such as device hotplug or memory settings, are lost unless such changes were made with VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG flag.

dom:a domain object
target:a value from virNodeSuspendTarget
duration:duration in seconds to suspend, or 0 for indefinite
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:0 on success, -1 on failure.

virDomainPMWakeup ()

int	virDomainPMWakeup		(virDomainPtr dom, 
unsigned int flags)

Inject a wakeup into the guest that previously used virDomainPMSuspendForDuration, rather than waiting for the previously requested duration (if any) to elapse.

dom:a domain object
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:0 on success, -1 on failure.

virDomainPinEmulator ()

int	virDomainPinEmulator		(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned char * cpumap,
int maplen,
unsigned int flags)

Dynamically change the real CPUs which can be allocated to all emulator threads. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor. @flags may include VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE or VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG. Both flags may be set. If VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE is set, the change affects a running domain and may fail if domain is not alive. If VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG is set, the change affects persistent state, and will fail for transient domains. If neither flag is specified (that is, @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT), then an inactive domain modifies persistent setup, while an active domain is hypervisor-dependent on whether just live or both live and persistent state is changed. Not all hypervisors can support all flag combinations. See also virDomainGetEmulatorPinInfo for querying this information.

domain:pointer to domain object, or NULL for Domain0
cpumap:pointer to a bit map of real CPUs (in 8-bit bytes) (IN) Each bit set to 1 means that corresponding CPU is usable. Bytes are stored in little-endian order: CPU0-7, 8-15... In each byte, lowest CPU number is least significant bit.
maplen:number of bytes in cpumap, from 1 up to size of CPU map in underlying virtualization system (Xen...). If maplen < size, missing bytes are set to zero. If maplen > size, failure code is returned.
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainModificationImpact
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virDomainPinVcpu ()

int	virDomainPinVcpu		(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned int vcpu,
unsigned char * cpumap,
int maplen)

Dynamically change the real CPUs which can be allocated to a virtual CPU. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor. This command only changes the runtime configuration of the domain, so can only be called on an active domain.

domain:pointer to domain object, or NULL for Domain0
vcpu:virtual CPU number
cpumap:pointer to a bit map of real CPUs (in 8-bit bytes) (IN) Each bit set to 1 means that corresponding CPU is usable. Bytes are stored in little-endian order: CPU0-7, 8-15... In each byte, lowest CPU number is least significant bit.
maplen:number of bytes in cpumap, from 1 up to size of CPU map in underlying virtualization system (Xen...). If maplen < size, missing bytes are set to zero. If maplen > size, failure code is returned.
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virDomainPinVcpuFlags ()

int	virDomainPinVcpuFlags		(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned int vcpu,
unsigned char * cpumap,
int maplen,
unsigned int flags)

Dynamically change the real CPUs which can be allocated to a virtual CPU. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor. @flags may include VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE or VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG. Both flags may be set. If VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE is set, the change affects a running domain and may fail if domain is not alive. If VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG is set, the change affects persistent state, and will fail for transient domains. If neither flag is specified (that is, @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT), then an inactive domain modifies persistent setup, while an active domain is hypervisor-dependent on whether just live or both live and persistent state is changed. Not all hypervisors can support all flag combinations. See also virDomainGetVcpuPinInfo for querying this information.

domain:pointer to domain object, or NULL for Domain0
vcpu:virtual CPU number
cpumap:pointer to a bit map of real CPUs (in 8-bit bytes) (IN) Each bit set to 1 means that corresponding CPU is usable. Bytes are stored in little-endian order: CPU0-7, 8-15... In each byte, lowest CPU number is least significant bit.
maplen:number of bytes in cpumap, from 1 up to size of CPU map in underlying virtualization system (Xen...). If maplen < size, missing bytes are set to zero. If maplen > size, failure code is returned.
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainModificationImpact
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virDomainReboot ()

int	virDomainReboot			(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned int flags)

Reboot a domain, the domain object is still usable thereafter, but the domain OS is being stopped for a restart. Note that the guest OS may ignore the request. Additionally, the hypervisor may check and support the domain 'on_reboot' XML setting resulting in a domain that shuts down instead of rebooting. If @flags is set to zero, then the hypervisor will choose the method of shutdown it considers best. To have greater control pass one or more of the virDomainRebootFlagValues. The order in which the hypervisor tries each shutdown method is undefined, and a hypervisor is not required to support all methods. To use guest agent (VIR_DOMAIN_REBOOT_GUEST_AGENT) the domain XML must have <channel> configured. Due to implementation limitations in some drivers (the qemu driver, for instance) it is not advised to migrate or save a guest that is rebooting as a result of this API. Migrating such a guest can lead to a plain shutdown on the destination.

domain:a domain object
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainRebootFlagValues
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainRef ()

int	virDomainRef			(virDomainPtr domain)

Increment the reference count on the domain. For each additional call to this method, there shall be a corresponding call to virDomainFree to release the reference count, once the caller no longer needs the reference to this object. This method is typically useful for applications where multiple threads are using a connection, and it is required that the connection remain open until all threads have finished using it. ie, each new thread using a domain would increment the reference count.

domain:the domain to hold a reference on
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainReset ()

int	virDomainReset			(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned int flags)

Reset a domain immediately without any guest OS shutdown. Reset emulates the power reset button on a machine, where all hardware sees the RST line set and reinitializes internal state. Note that there is a risk of data loss caused by reset without any guest OS shutdown.

domain:a domain object
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainRestore ()

int	virDomainRestore		(virConnectPtr conn, 
const char * from)

This method will restore a domain saved to disk by virDomainSave(). See virDomainRestoreFlags() for more control.

conn:pointer to the hypervisor connection
from:path to the input file
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainRestoreFlags ()

int	virDomainRestoreFlags		(virConnectPtr conn, 
const char * from,
const char * dxml,
unsigned int flags)

This method will restore a domain saved to disk by virDomainSave(). If the hypervisor supports it, @dxml can be used to alter host-specific portions of the domain XML that will be used when restoring an image. For example, it is possible to alter the backing filename that is associated with a disk device, in order to prepare for file renaming done as part of backing up the disk device while the domain is stopped. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_BYPASS_CACHE, then libvirt will attempt to bypass the file system cache while restoring the file, or fail if it cannot do so for the given system; this can allow less pressure on file system cache, but also risks slowing restores from NFS. Normally, the saved state file will remember whether the domain was running or paused, and restore defaults to the same state. Specifying VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_RUNNING or VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PAUSED in @flags will override the default read from the file. These two flags are mutually exclusive.

conn:pointer to the hypervisor connection
from:path to the input file
dxml:(optional) XML config for adjusting guest xml used on restore
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainSaveRestoreFlags
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainResume ()

int	virDomainResume			(virDomainPtr domain)

Resume a suspended domain, the process is restarted from the state where it was frozen by calling virDomainSuspend(). This function may require privileged access Moreover, resume may not be supported if domain is in some special state like VIR_DOMAIN_PMSUSPENDED.

domain:a domain object
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainRevertToSnapshot ()

int	virDomainRevertToSnapshot	(virDomainSnapshotPtr snapshot, 
unsigned int flags)

Revert the domain to a given snapshot. Normally, the domain will revert to the same state the domain was in while the snapshot was taken (whether inactive, running, or paused), except that disk snapshots default to reverting to inactive state. Including VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_REVERT_RUNNING in @flags overrides the snapshot state to guarantee a running domain after the revert; or including VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_REVERT_PAUSED in @flags guarantees a paused domain after the revert. These two flags are mutually exclusive. While a persistent domain does not need either flag, it is not possible to revert a transient domain into an inactive state, so transient domains require the use of one of these two flags. Reverting to any snapshot discards all configuration changes made since the last snapshot. Additionally, reverting to a snapshot from a running domain is a form of data loss, since it discards whatever is in the guest's RAM at the time. Since the very nature of keeping snapshots implies the intent to roll back state, no additional confirmation is normally required for these lossy effects. However, there are two particular situations where reverting will be refused by default, and where @flags must include VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_REVERT_FORCE to acknowledge the risks. 1) Any attempt to revert to a snapshot that lacks the metadata to perform ABI compatibility checks (generally the case for snapshots that lack a full <domain> when listed by virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc(), such as those created prior to libvirt 0.9.5). 2) Any attempt to revert a running domain to an active state that requires starting a new hypervisor instance rather than reusing the existing hypervisor (since this would terminate all connections to the domain, such as such as VNC or Spice graphics) - this condition arises from active snapshots that are provably ABI incomaptible, as well as from inactive snapshots with a @flags request to start the domain after the revert.

snapshot:a domain snapshot object
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainSnapshotRevertFlags
Returns:0 if the creation is successful, -1 on error.

virDomainSave ()

int	virDomainSave			(virDomainPtr domain, 
const char * to)

This method will suspend a domain and save its memory contents to a file on disk. After the call, if successful, the domain is not listed as running anymore (this ends the life of a transient domain). Use virDomainRestore() to restore a domain after saving. See virDomainSaveFlags() for more control. Also, a save file can be inspected or modified slightly with virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc() and virDomainSaveImageDefineXML().

domain:a domain object
to:path for the output file
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainSaveFlags ()

int	virDomainSaveFlags		(virDomainPtr domain, 
const char * to,
const char * dxml,
unsigned int flags)

This method will suspend a domain and save its memory contents to a file on disk. After the call, if successful, the domain is not listed as running anymore (this ends the life of a transient domain). Use virDomainRestore() to restore a domain after saving. If the hypervisor supports it, @dxml can be used to alter host-specific portions of the domain XML that will be used when restoring an image. For example, it is possible to alter the backing filename that is associated with a disk device, in order to prepare for file renaming done as part of backing up the disk device while the domain is stopped. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_BYPASS_CACHE, then libvirt will attempt to bypass the file system cache while creating the file, or fail if it cannot do so for the given system; this can allow less pressure on file system cache, but also risks slowing saves to NFS. Normally, the saved state file will remember whether the domain was running or paused, and restore defaults to the same state. Specifying VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_RUNNING or VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PAUSED in @flags will override what state gets saved into the file. These two flags are mutually exclusive. A save file can be inspected or modified slightly with virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc() and virDomainSaveImageDefineXML(). Some hypervisors may prevent this operation if there is a current block copy operation; in that case, use virDomainBlockJobAbort() to stop the block copy first.

domain:a domain object
to:path for the output file
dxml:(optional) XML config for adjusting guest xml used on restore
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainSaveRestoreFlags
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainSaveImageDefineXML ()

int	virDomainSaveImageDefineXML	(virConnectPtr conn, 
const char * file,
const char * dxml,
unsigned int flags)

This updates the definition of a domain stored in a saved state file. @file must be a file created previously by virDomainSave() or virDomainSaveFlags(). @dxml can be used to alter host-specific portions of the domain XML that will be used when restoring an image. For example, it is possible to alter the backing filename that is associated with a disk device, to match renaming done as part of backing up the disk device while the domain is stopped. Normally, the saved state file will remember whether the domain was running or paused, and restore defaults to the same state. Specifying VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_RUNNING or VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PAUSED in @flags will override the default saved into the file; omitting both leaves the file's default unchanged. These two flags are mutually exclusive.

conn:pointer to the hypervisor connection
file:path to saved state file
dxml:XML config for adjusting guest xml used on restore
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainSaveRestoreFlags
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc ()

char *	virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc	(virConnectPtr conn, 
const char * file,
unsigned int flags)

This method will extract the XML describing the domain at the time a saved state file was created. @file must be a file created previously by virDomainSave() or virDomainSaveFlags(). No security-sensitive data will be included unless @flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE; this flag is rejected on read-only connections. For this API, @flags should not contain either VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE or VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU.

conn:pointer to the hypervisor connection
file:path to saved state file
flags:bitwise-OR of subset of virDomainXMLFlags
Returns:a 0 terminated UTF-8 encoded XML instance, or NULL in case of error. The caller must free() the returned value.

virDomainScreenshot ()

char *	virDomainScreenshot		(virDomainPtr domain, 
virStreamPtr stream,
unsigned int screen,
unsigned int flags)

Take a screenshot of current domain console as a stream. The image format is hypervisor specific. Moreover, some hypervisors supports multiple displays per domain. These can be distinguished by @screen argument. This call sets up a stream; subsequent use of stream API is necessary to transfer actual data, determine how much data is successfully transferred, and detect any errors. The screen ID is the sequential number of screen. In case of multiple graphics cards, heads are enumerated before devices, e.g. having two graphics cards, both with four heads, screen ID 5 addresses the second head on the second card.

domain:a domain object
stream:stream to use as output
screen:monitor ID to take screenshot from
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:a string representing the mime-type of the image format, or NULL upon error. The caller must free() the returned value.

virDomainSendKey ()

int	virDomainSendKey		(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned int codeset,
unsigned int holdtime,
unsigned int * keycodes,
int nkeycodes,
unsigned int flags)

Send key(s) to the guest.

domain:pointer to domain object, or NULL for Domain0
codeset:the code set of keycodes, from virKeycodeSet
holdtime:the duration (in milliseconds) that the keys will be held
keycodes:array of keycodes
nkeycodes:number of keycodes, up to VIR_DOMAIN_SEND_KEY_MAX_KEYS
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virDomainSendProcessSignal ()

int	virDomainSendProcessSignal	(virDomainPtr domain, 
long long pid_value,
unsigned int signum,
unsigned int flags)

Send a signal to the designated process in the guest The signal numbers must be taken from the virDomainProcessSignal enum. These will be translated to the corresponding signal number for the guest OS, by the guest agent delivering the signal. If there is no mapping from virDomainProcessSignal to the native OS signals, this API will report an error. If @pid_value is an integer greater than zero, it is treated as a process ID. If @pid_value is an integer less than zero, it is treated as a process group ID. All the @pid_value numbers are from the container/guest namespace. The value zero is not valid. Not all hypervisors will support sending signals to arbitrary processes or process groups. If this API is implemented the minimum requirement is to be able to use @pid_value == 1 (i.e. kill init). No other value is required to be supported. If the @signum is VIR_DOMAIN_PROCESS_SIGNAL_NOP then this API will simply report whether the process is running in the container/guest.

domain:pointer to domain object
pid_value:a positive integer process ID, or negative integer process group ID
signum:a signal from the virDomainProcessSignal enum
flags:one of the virDomainProcessSignalFlag values
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virDomainSetBlockIoTune ()

int	virDomainSetBlockIoTune		(virDomainPtr dom, 
const char * disk,
virTypedParameterPtr params,
int nparams,
unsigned int flags)

Change all or a subset of the per-device block IO tunables. The @disk parameter is either an unambiguous source name of the block device (the <source file='...'/> sub-element, such as "/path/to/image"), or the device target shorthand (the <target dev='...'/> sub-element, such as "xvda"). Valid names can be found by calling virDomainGetXMLDesc() and inspecting elements within //domain/devices/disk.

Returns:-1 in case of error, 0 in case of success.

virDomainSetInterfaceParameters ()

int	virDomainSetInterfaceParameters	(virDomainPtr domain, 
const char * device,
virTypedParameterPtr params,
int nparams,
unsigned int flags)

Change a subset or all parameters of interface; currently this includes bandwidth parameters. The value of @flags should be either VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT, or a bitwise-or of values VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE and VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG, although hypervisors vary in which flags are supported. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor.

domain:pointer to domain object
device:the interface name or mac address
params:pointer to interface parameter objects
nparams:number of interface parameter (this value can be the same or less than the number of parameters supported)
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainModificationImpact
Returns:-1 in case of error, 0 in case of success.

virDomainSetMaxMemory ()

int	virDomainSetMaxMemory		(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned long memory)

Dynamically change the maximum amount of physical memory allocated to a domain. If domain is NULL, then this change the amount of memory reserved to Domain0 i.e. the domain where the application runs. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor. This command is hypervisor-specific for whether active, persistent, or both configurations are changed; for more control, use virDomainSetMemoryFlags().

domain:a domain object or NULL
memory:the memory size in kibibytes (blocks of 1024 bytes)
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainSetMemory ()

int	virDomainSetMemory		(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned long memory)

Dynamically change the target amount of physical memory allocated to a domain. If domain is NULL, then this change the amount of memory reserved to Domain0 i.e. the domain where the application runs. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor. This command only changes the runtime configuration of the domain, so can only be called on an active domain.

domain:a domain object or NULL
memory:the memory size in kibibytes (blocks of 1024 bytes)
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainSetMemoryFlags ()

int	virDomainSetMemoryFlags		(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned long memory,
unsigned int flags)

Dynamically change the target amount of physical memory allocated to a domain. If domain is NULL, then this change the amount of memory reserved to Domain0 i.e. the domain where the application runs. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor. @flags may include VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE or VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG. Both flags may be set. If VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE is set, the change affects a running domain and will fail if domain is not active. If VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG is set, the change affects persistent state, and will fail for transient domains. If neither flag is specified (that is, @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT), then an inactive domain modifies persistent setup, while an active domain is hypervisor-dependent on whether just live or both live and persistent state is changed. If VIR_DOMAIN_MEM_MAXIMUM is set, the change affects domain's maximum memory size rather than current memory size. Not all hypervisors can support all flag combinations.

domain:a domain object or NULL
memory:the memory size in kibibytes (blocks of 1024 bytes)
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainMemoryModFlags
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virDomainSetMemoryParameters ()

int	virDomainSetMemoryParameters	(virDomainPtr domain, 
virTypedParameterPtr params,

flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainModificationImpact
Returns:-1 in case of error, 0 in case of success.

virDomainSetMemoryStatsPeriod ()

int	virDomainSetMemoryStatsPeriod	(virDomainPtr domain, 
int period,
unsigned int flags)

Dynamically change the domain memory balloon driver statistics collection period. Use 0 to disable and a positive value to enable. @flags may include VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE or VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG. Both flags may be set. If VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE is set, the change affects a running domain and will fail if domain is not active. If VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG is set, the change affects persistent state, and will fail for transient domains. If neither flag is specified (that is, @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT), then an inactive domain modifies persistent setup, while an active domain is hypervisor-dependent on whether just live or both live and persistent state is changed. Not all hypervisors can support all flag combinations.

domain:a domain object or NULL
period:the period in seconds for stats collection
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainMemoryModFlags
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virDomainSetMetadata ()

int	virDomainSetMetadata		(virDomainPtr domain, 
int type,
const char * metadata,
const char * key,
const char * uri,
unsigned int flags)

Sets the appropriate domain element given by @type to the value of @metadata. A @type of VIR_DOMAIN_METADATA_DESCRIPTION is free-form text; VIR_DOMAIN_METADATA_TITLE is free-form, but no newlines are permitted, and should be short (although the length is not enforced). For these two options @key and @uri are irrelevant and must be set to NULL. For type VIR_DOMAIN_METADATA_ELEMENT @metadata must be well-formed XML belonging to namespace defined by @uri with local name @key. Passing NULL for @metadata says to remove that element from the domain XML (passing the empty string leaves the element present). The resulting metadata will be present in virDomainGetXMLDesc(), as well as quick access through virDomainGetMetadata(). @flags controls whether the live domain, persistent configuration, or both will be modified.

domain:a domain object
type:type of metadata, from virDomainMetadataType
metadata:new metadata text
key:XML namespace key, or NULL
uri:XML namespace URI, or NULL
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainModificationImpact
Returns:0 on success, -1 in case of failure.

virDomainSetNumaParameters ()

int	virDomainSetNumaParameters	(virDomainPtr domain, 
virTypedParameterPtr params,
int nparams,
unsigned int flags)

Change all or a subset of the numa tunables. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor.

domain:pointer to domain object
params:pointer to numa parameter objects
nparams:number of numa parameters (this value can be the same or less than the number of parameters supported)
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainModificationImpact
Returns:-1 in case of error, 0 in case of success.

virDomainSetSchedulerParameters ()

int	virDomainSetSchedulerParameters	(virDomainPtr domain, 
virTypedParameterPtr params,
int nparams)

Change all or a subset or the scheduler parameters. It is hypervisor-specific whether this sets live, persistent, or both settings; for more control, use virDomainSetSchedulerParametersFlags.

domain:pointer to domain object
params:pointer to scheduler parameter objects
nparams:number of scheduler parameter objects (this value can be the same or less than the returned value nparams of virDomainGetSchedulerType)
Returns:-1 in case of error, 0 in case of success.

virDomainSetSchedulerParametersFlags ()

int	virDomainSetSchedulerParametersFlags	(virDomainPtr domain, 
virTypedParameterPtr params,
int nparams,
unsigned int flags)

Change a subset or all scheduler parameters. The value of @flags should be either VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT, or a bitwise-or of values from VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE and VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT, although hypervisors vary in which flags are supported.

domain:pointer to domain object
params:pointer to scheduler parameter objects
nparams:number of scheduler parameter objects (this value can be the same or less than the returned value nparams of virDomainGetSchedulerType)
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainModificationImpact
Returns:-1 in case of error, 0 in case of success.

virDomainSetTime ()

int	virDomainSetTime		(virDomainPtr dom, 
long long seconds,
unsigned int nseconds,
unsigned int flags)

When a domain is suspended or restored from a file the domain's OS has no idea that there was a big gap in the time. Depending on how long the gap was, NTP might not be able to resynchronize the guest. This API tries to set guest time to the given value. The time to set (@seconds and @nseconds) should be in seconds relative to the Epoch of 1970-01-01 00:00:00 in UTC. Please note that some hypervisors may require guest agent to be configured and running in order to be able to run this API.

dom:a domain object
seconds:time to set
nseconds:the nanosecond part of @seconds
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainSetTimeFlags
Returns:0 on success, -1 otherwise.

virDomainSetVcpus ()

int	virDomainSetVcpus		(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned int nvcpus)

Dynamically change the number of virtual CPUs used by the domain. Note that this call may fail if the underlying virtualization hypervisor does not support it or if growing the number is arbitrarily limited. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor. Note that if this call is executed before the guest has finished booting, the guest may fail to process the change. This command only changes the runtime configuration of the domain, so can only be called on an active domain. It is hypervisor-dependent whether it also affects persistent configuration; for more control, use virDomainSetVcpusFlags().

domain:pointer to domain object, or NULL for Domain0
nvcpus:the new number of virtual CPUs for this domain
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virDomainSetVcpusFlags ()

int	virDomainSetVcpusFlags		(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned int nvcpus,
unsigned int flags)

Dynamically change the number of virtual CPUs used by the domain. Note that this call may fail if the underlying virtualization hypervisor does not support it or if growing the number is arbitrarily limited. This function may require privileged access to the hypervisor. @flags may include VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE to affect a running domain (which may fail if domain is not active), or VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG to affect the next boot via the XML description of the domain. Both flags may be set. If neither flag is specified (that is, @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT), then an inactive domain modifies persistent setup, while an active domain is hypervisor-dependent on whether just live or both live and persistent state is changed. Note that if this call is executed before the guest has finished booting, the guest may fail to process the change. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_VCPU_MAXIMUM, then VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE must be clear, and only the maximum virtual CPU limit is altered; generally, this value must be less than or equal to virConnectGetMaxVcpus(). Otherwise, this call affects the current virtual CPU limit, which must be less than or equal to the maximum limit. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_VCPU_GUEST, then the state of processors is modified inside the guest instead of the hypervisor. This flag can only be used with live guests and is incompatible with VIR_DOMAIN_VCPU_MAXIMUM. The usage of this flag may require a guest agent configured. Not all hypervisors can support all flag combinations.

domain:pointer to domain object, or NULL for Domain0
nvcpus:the new number of virtual CPUs for this domain, must be at least 1
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainVcpuFlags
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virDomainShutdown ()

int	virDomainShutdown		(virDomainPtr domain)

Shutdown a domain, the domain object is still usable thereafter, but the domain OS is being stopped. Note that the guest OS may ignore the request. Additionally, the hypervisor may check and support the domain 'on_poweroff' XML setting resulting in a domain that reboots instead of shutting down. For guests that react to a shutdown request, the differences from virDomainDestroy() are that the guests disk storage will be in a stable state rather than having the (virtual) power cord pulled, and this command returns as soon as the shutdown request is issued rather than blocking until the guest is no longer running. If the domain is transient and has any snapshot metadata (see virDomainSnapshotNum()), then that metadata will automatically be deleted when the domain quits.

domain:a domain object
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainShutdownFlags ()

int	virDomainShutdownFlags		(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned int flags)

Shutdown a domain, the domain object is still usable thereafter but the domain OS is being stopped. Note that the guest OS may ignore the request. Additionally, the hypervisor may check and support the domain 'on_poweroff' XML setting resulting in a domain that reboots instead of shutting down. For guests that react to a shutdown request, the differences from virDomainDestroy() are that the guest's disk storage will be in a stable state rather than having the (virtual) power cord pulled, and this command returns as soon as the shutdown request is issued rather than blocking until the guest is no longer running. If the domain is transient and has any snapshot metadata (see virDomainSnapshotNum()), then that metadata will automatically be deleted when the domain quits. If @flags is set to zero, then the hypervisor will choose the method of shutdown it considers best. To have greater control pass one or more of the virDomainShutdownFlagValues. The order in which the hypervisor tries each shutdown method is undefined, and a hypervisor is not required to support all methods. To use guest agent (VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTDOWN_GUEST_AGENT) the domain XML must have <channel> configured.

domain:a domain object
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainShutdownFlagValues
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainSnapshotCreateXML ()

virDomainSnapshotPtr	virDomainSnapshotCreateXML	(virDomainPtr domain, 
const char * xmlDesc,
unsigned int flags)

Creates a new snapshot of a domain based on the snapshot xml contained in xmlDesc. If @flags is 0, the domain can be active, in which case the snapshot will be a system checkpoint (both disk state and runtime VM state such as RAM contents), where reverting to the snapshot is the same as resuming from hibernation (TCP connections may have timed out, but everything else picks up where it left off); or the domain can be inactive, in which case the snapshot includes just the disk state prior to booting. The newly created snapshot becomes current (see virDomainSnapshotCurrent()), and is a child of any previous current snapshot. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_REDEFINE, then this is a request to reinstate snapshot metadata that was previously discarded, rather than creating a new snapshot. This can be used to recreate a snapshot hierarchy on a destination, then remove it on the source, in order to allow migration (since migration normally fails if snapshot metadata still remains on the source machine). When redefining snapshot metadata, the current snapshot will not be altered unless the VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_CURRENT flag is also present. It is an error to request the VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_CURRENT flag without VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_REDEFINE. On some hypervisors, redefining an existing snapshot can be used to alter host-specific portions of the domain XML to be used during revert (such as backing filenames associated with disk devices), but must not alter guest-visible layout. When redefining a snapshot name that does not exist, the hypervisor may validate that reverting to the snapshot appears to be possible (for example, disk images have snapshot contents by the requested name). Not all hypervisors support these flags. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_NO_METADATA, then the domain's disk images are modified according to @xmlDesc, but then the just-created snapshot has its metadata deleted. This flag is incompatible with VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_REDEFINE. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_HALT, then the domain will be inactive after the snapshot completes, regardless of whether it was active before; otherwise, a running domain will still be running after the snapshot. This flag is invalid on transient domains, and is incompatible with VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_REDEFINE. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_LIVE, then the domain is not paused while creating the snapshot. This increases the size of the memory dump file, but reduces downtime of the guest while taking the snapshot. Some hypervisors only support this flag during external checkpoints. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_DISK_ONLY, then the snapshot will be limited to the disks described in @xmlDesc, and no VM state will be saved. For an active guest, the disk image may be inconsistent (as if power had been pulled), and specifying this with the VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_HALT flag risks data loss. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_QUIESCE, then the libvirt will attempt to use guest agent to freeze and thaw all file systems in use within domain OS. However, if the guest agent is not present, an error is thrown. Moreover, this flag requires VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_DISK_ONLY to be passed as well. By default, if the snapshot involves external files, and any of the destination files already exist as a non-empty regular file, the snapshot is rejected to avoid losing contents of those files. However, if @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_REUSE_EXT, then the destination files must be pre-created manually with the correct image format and metadata including backing store path (this allows a management app to pre-create files with relative backing file names, rather than the default of creating with absolute backing file names). Note that setting incorrect metadata in the pre-created image may lead to the VM being unable to start. Be aware that although libvirt prefers to report errors up front with no other effect, some hypervisors have certain types of failures where the overall command can easily fail even though the guest configuration was partially altered (for example, if a disk snapshot request for two disks fails on the second disk, but the first disk alteration cannot be rolled back). If this API call fails, it is therefore normally necessary to follow up with virDomainGetXMLDesc() and check each disk to determine if any partial changes occurred. However, if @flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_ATOMIC, then libvirt guarantees that this command will not alter any disks unless the entire set of changes can be done atomically, making failure recovery simpler (note that it is still possible to fail after disks have changed, but only in the much rarer cases of running out of memory or disk space). Some hypervisors may prevent this operation if there is a current block copy operation; in that case, use virDomainBlockJobAbort() to stop the block copy first. virDomainSnapshotFree should be used to free the resources after the snapshot object is no longer needed.

domain:a domain object
xmlDesc:string containing an XML description of the domain
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainSnapshotCreateFlags
Returns:an (opaque) virDomainSnapshotPtr on success, NULL on failure.

virDomainSnapshotCurrent ()

virDomainSnapshotPtr	virDomainSnapshotCurrent	(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned int flags)

Get the current snapshot for a domain, if any. virDomainSnapshotFree should be used to free the resources after the snapshot object is no longer needed.

domain:a domain object
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:a domain snapshot object or NULL in case of failure. If the current domain snapshot cannot be found, then the VIR_ERR_NO_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT error is raised.

virDomainSnapshotDelete ()

int	virDomainSnapshotDelete		(virDomainSnapshotPtr snapshot, 
unsigned int flags)

Delete the snapshot. If @flags is 0, then just this snapshot is deleted, and changes from this snapshot are automatically merged into children snapshots. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_CHILDREN, then this snapshot and any descendant snapshots are deleted. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_CHILDREN_ONLY, then any descendant snapshots are deleted, but this snapshot remains. These two flags are mutually exclusive. If @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_METADATA_ONLY, then any snapshot metadata tracked by libvirt is removed while keeping the snapshot contents intact; if a hypervisor does not require any libvirt metadata to track snapshots, then this flag is silently ignored.

snapshot:a domain snapshot object
flags:bitwise-OR of supported virDomainSnapshotDeleteFlags
Returns:0 if the selected snapshot(s) were successfully deleted, -1 on error.

virDomainSnapshotFree ()

int	virDomainSnapshotFree		(virDomainSnapshotPtr snapshot)

Free the domain snapshot object. The snapshot itself is not modified. The data structure is freed and should not be used thereafter.

snapshot:a domain snapshot object
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainSnapshotGetConnect ()

virConnectPtr	virDomainSnapshotGetConnect	(virDomainSnapshotPtr snapshot)

Provides the connection pointer associated with a snapshot. The reference counter on the connection is not increased by this call. WARNING: When writing libvirt bindings in other languages, do not use this function. Instead, store the connection and the snapshot object together.

snapshot:a snapshot object
Returns:the connection or NULL.

virDomainSnapshotGetDomain ()

virDomainPtr	virDomainSnapshotGetDomain	(virDomainSnapshotPtr snapshot)

Provides the domain pointer associated with a snapshot. The reference counter on the domain is not increased by this call. WARNING: When writing libvirt bindings in other languages, do not use this function. Instead, store the domain and the snapshot object together.

snapshot:a snapshot object
Returns:the domain or NULL.

virDomainSnapshotGetName ()

const char *	virDomainSnapshotGetName	(virDomainSnapshotPtr snapshot)

Get the public name for that snapshot

snapshot:a snapshot object
Returns:a pointer to the name or NULL, the string need not be deallocated as its lifetime will be the same as the snapshot object.

virDomainSnapshotGetParent ()

virDomainSnapshotPtr	virDomainSnapshotGetParent	(virDomainSnapshotPtr snapshot, 
unsigned int flags)

Get the parent snapshot for @snapshot, if any. virDomainSnapshotFree should be used to free the resources after the snapshot object is no longer needed.

snapshot:a snapshot object
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:a domain snapshot object or NULL in case of failure. If the given snapshot is a root (no parent), then the VIR_ERR_NO_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT error is raised.

virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc ()

char *	virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc	(virDomainSnapshotPtr snapshot, 
unsigned int flags)

Provide an XML description of the domain snapshot. No security-sensitive data will be included unless @flags contains VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE; this flag is rejected on read-only connections. For this API, @flags should not contain either VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE or VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU.

snapshot:a domain snapshot object
flags:bitwise-OR of subset of virDomainXMLFlags
Returns:a 0 terminated UTF-8 encoded XML instance, or NULL in case of error. the caller must free() the returned value.

virDomainSnapshotHasMetadata ()

int	virDomainSnapshotHasMetadata	(virDomainSnapshotPtr snapshot, 
unsigned int flags)

Determine if the given snapshot is associated with libvirt metadata that would prevent the deletion of the domain.

snapshot:a snapshot object
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:1 if the snapshot has metadata, 0 if the snapshot exists without help from libvirt, or -1 on error.

virDomainSnapshotIsCurrent ()

int	virDomainSnapshotIsCurrent	(virDomainSnapshotPtr snapshot, 
unsigned int flags)

Determine if the given snapshot is the domain's current snapshot. See also virDomainHasCurrentSnapshot().

snapshot:a snapshot object
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:1 if current, 0 if not current, or -1 on error.

virDomainSnapshotListAllChildren ()

int	virDomainSnapshotListAllChildren	(virDomainSnapshotPtr snapshot, 
virDomainSnapshotPtr ** snaps,
unsigned int flags)

Collect the list of domain snapshots that are children of the given snapshot, and allocate an array to store those objects. This API solves the race inherent in virDomainSnapshotListChildrenNames(). By default, this command covers only direct children; it is also possible to expand things to cover all descendants, when @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_DESCENDANTS. Also, some filters are provided in groups, where each group contains bits that describe mutually exclusive attributes of a snapshot, and where all bits within a group describe all possible snapshots. Some hypervisors might reject explicit bits from a group where the hypervisor cannot make a distinction. For a group supported by a given hypervisor, the behavior when no bits of a group are set is identical to the behavior when all bits in that group are set. When setting bits from more than one group, it is possible to select an impossible combination, in that case a hypervisor may return either 0 or an error. The first group of @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_LEAVES and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_NO_LEAVES, to filter based on snapshots that have no further children (a leaf snapshot). The next group of @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_METADATA and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_NO_METADATA, for filtering snapshots based on whether they have metadata that would prevent the removal of the last reference to a domain. The next group of @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_INACTIVE, VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_ACTIVE, and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_DISK_ONLY, for filtering snapshots based on what domain state is tracked by the snapshot. The next group of @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_INTERNAL and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_EXTERNAL, for filtering snapshots based on whether the snapshot is stored inside the disk images or as additional files.

snapshot:a domain snapshot object
snaps:pointer to variable to store the array containing snapshot objects, or NULL if the list is not required (just returns number of snapshots)
flags:bitwise-OR of supported virDomainSnapshotListFlags
Returns:the number of domain snapshots found or -1 and sets @snaps to NULL in case of error. On success, the array stored into @snaps is guaranteed to have an extra allocated element set to NULL but not included in the return count, to make iteration easier. The caller is responsible for calling virDomainSnapshotFree() on each array element, then calling free() on @snaps.

virDomainSnapshotListChildrenNames ()

int	virDomainSnapshotListChildrenNames	(virDomainSnapshotPtr snapshot, 
char ** names,
int nameslen,
unsigned int flags)

Collect the list of domain snapshots that are children of the given snapshot, and store their names in @names. The value to use for @nameslen can be determined by virDomainSnapshotNumChildren() with the same @flags. By default, this command covers only direct children; it is also possible to expand things to cover all descendants, when @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_DESCENDANTS. Also, some filters are provided in groups, where each group contains bits that describe mutually exclusive attributes of a snapshot, and where all bits within a group describe all possible snapshots. Some hypervisors might reject explicit bits from a group where the hypervisor cannot make a distinction. For a group supported by a given hypervisor, the behavior when no bits of a group are set is identical to the behavior when all bits in that group are set. When setting bits from more than one group, it is possible to select an impossible combination, in that case a hypervisor may return either 0 or an error. The first group of @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_LEAVES and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_NO_LEAVES, to filter based on snapshots that have no further children (a leaf snapshot). The next group of @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_METADATA and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_NO_METADATA, for filtering snapshots based on whether they have metadata that would prevent the removal of the last reference to a domain. The next group of @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_INACTIVE, VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_ACTIVE, and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_DISK_ONLY, for filtering snapshots based on what domain state is tracked by the snapshot. The next group of @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_INTERNAL and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_EXTERNAL, for filtering snapshots based on whether the snapshot is stored inside the disk images or as additional files.

snapshot:a domain snapshot object
names:array to collect the list of names of snapshots
nameslen:size of @names
flags:bitwise-OR of supported virDomainSnapshotListFlags
Returns:the number of domain snapshots found or -1 in case of error. Note that this command is inherently racy: another connection can define a new snapshot between a call to virDomainSnapshotNumChildren() and this call. You are only guaranteed that all currently defined snapshots were listed if the return is less than @nameslen. Likewise, you should be prepared for virDomainSnapshotLookupByName() to fail when converting a name from this call into a snapshot object, if another connection deletes the snapshot in the meantime. For more control over the results, see virDomainSnapshotListAllChildren(). Returns the number of domain snapshots found or -1 in case of error. The caller is responsible to call free() for each member of the array.

virDomainSnapshotListNames ()

int	virDomainSnapshotListNames	(virDomainPtr domain, 
char ** names,
int nameslen,
unsigned int flags)

Collect the list of domain snapshots for the given domain, and store their names in @names. The value to use for @nameslen can be determined by virDomainSnapshotNum() with the same @flags. By default, this command covers all snapshots; it is also possible to limit things to just snapshots with no parents, when @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_ROOTS. Additional filters are provided in groups, where each group contains bits that describe mutually exclusive attributes of a snapshot, and where all bits within a group describe all possible snapshots. Some hypervisors might reject explicit bits from a group where the hypervisor cannot make a distinction. For a group supported by a given hypervisor, the behavior when no bits of a group are set is identical to the behavior when all bits in that group are set.

domain:a domain object
names:array to collect the list of names of snapshots
nameslen:size of @names
flags:bitwise-OR of supported virDomainSnapshotListFlags
Returns:the number of domain snapshots found or -1 in case of error. The caller is responsible to call free() for each member of the array.

virDomainSnapshotLookupByName ()

virDomainSnapshotPtr	virDomainSnapshotLookupByName	(virDomainPtr domain, 
const char * name,
unsigned int flags)

Try to lookup a domain snapshot based on its name.

domain:a domain object
name:name for the domain snapshot
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:a domain snapshot object or NULL in case of failure. If the domain snapshot cannot be found, then the VIR_ERR_NO_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT error is raised.

virDomainSnapshotNum ()

int	virDomainSnapshotNum		(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned int flags)

Provides the number of domain snapshots for this domain. By default, this command covers all snapshots; it is also possible to limit things to just snapshots with no parents, when @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_ROOTS. Additional filters are provided in groups, where each group contains bits that describe mutually exclusive attributes of a snapshot, and where all bits within a group describe all possible snapshots.

flags:bitwise-OR of supported virDomainSnapshotListFlags
Returns:the number of domain snapshots found or -1 in case of error.

virDomainSnapshotNumChildren ()

int	virDomainSnapshotNumChildren	(virDomainSnapshotPtr snapshot, 
unsigned int flags)

Provides the number of child snapshots for this domain snapshot. By default, this command covers only direct children; it is also possible to expand things to cover all descendants, when @flags includes VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_DESCENDANTS. Also, some filters are provided in groups, where each group contains bits that describe mutually exclusive attributes of a snapshot, and where all bits within a group describe all possible snapshots.

The next group of @flags is VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_INTERNAL and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_EXTERNAL, for filtering snapshots based on whether the snapshot is stored inside the disk images or as additional files.

snapshot:a domain snapshot object
flags:bitwise-OR of supported virDomainSnapshotListFlags
Returns:the number of domain snapshots found or -1 in case of error.

virDomainSnapshotRef ()

int	virDomainSnapshotRef		(virDomainSnapshotPtr snapshot)

Increment the reference count on the snapshot. For each additional call to this method, there shall be a corresponding call to virDomainSnapshotFree to release the reference count, once the caller no longer needs the reference to this object. This method is typically useful for applications where multiple threads are using a connection, and it is required that the connection and domain remain open until all threads have finished using the snapshot. ie, each new thread using a snapshot would increment the reference count.

snapshot:the snapshot to hold a reference on
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainStatsRecordListFree ()

void	virDomainStatsRecordListFree	(virDomainStatsRecordPtr * stats)

Convenience function to free a list of domain stats returned by virDomainListGetStats and virConnectGetAllDomainStats.

stats:NULL terminated array of virDomainStatsRecords to free

virDomainSuspend ()

int	virDomainSuspend		(virDomainPtr domain)

Suspends an active domain, the process is frozen without further access to CPU resources and I/O but the memory used by the domain at the hypervisor level will stay allocated. Use virDomainResume() to reactivate the domain. This function may require privileged access. Moreover, suspend may not be supported if domain is in some special state like VIR_DOMAIN_PMSUSPENDED.

domain:a domain object
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virDomainUndefine ()

int	virDomainUndefine		(virDomainPtr domain)

Undefine a domain. If the domain is running, it's converted to transient domain, without stopping it. If the domain is inactive, the domain configuration is removed. If the domain has a managed save image (see virDomainHasManagedSaveImage()), or if it is inactive and has any snapshot metadata (see virDomainSnapshotNum()), then the undefine will fail. See virDomainUndefineFlags() for more control.

domain:pointer to a defined domain
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of error

virDomainUndefineFlags ()

int	virDomainUndefineFlags		(virDomainPtr domain, 
unsigned int flags)

Undefine a domain. If the domain is running, it's converted to transient domain, without stopping it. If the domain is inactive, the domain configuration is removed. If the domain has a managed save image (see virDomainHasManagedSaveImage()), then including VIR_DOMAIN_UNDEFINE_MANAGED_SAVE in @flags will also remove that file, and omitting the flag will cause the undefine process to fail. If the domain is inactive and has any snapshot metadata (see virDomainSnapshotNum()), then including VIR_DOMAIN_UNDEFINE_SNAPSHOTS_METADATA in @flags will also remove that metadata. Omitting the flag will cause the undefine of an inactive domain to fail. Active snapshots will retain snapshot metadata until the (now-transient) domain halts, regardless of whether this flag is present. On hypervisors where snapshots do not use libvirt metadata, this flag has no effect.

domain:pointer to a defined domain
flags:bitwise-OR of supported virDomainUndefineFlagsValues
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of error

virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags ()

int	virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags	(virDomainPtr domain, 
const char * xml,
unsigned int flags)

Change a virtual device on a domain, using the flags parameter to control how the device is changed. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT specifies that the device change is made based on current domain state. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE specifies that the device shall be changed on the active domain instance only and is not added to the persisted domain configuration. VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG specifies that the device shall be changed on the persisted domain configuration only. Note that the target hypervisor must return an error if unable to satisfy flags. E.g. the hypervisor driver will return failure if LIVE is specified but it only supports modifying the persisted device allocation. This method is used for actions such changing CDROM/Floppy device media, altering the graphics configuration such as password, reconfiguring the NIC device backend connectivity, etc.

domain:pointer to domain object
xml:pointer to XML description of one device
flags:bitwise-OR of virDomainDeviceModifyFlags
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virEventAddHandle ()

int	virEventAddHandle		(int fd, 
int events,
virEventHandleCallback cb,
void * opaque,
virFreeCallback ff)

Register a callback for monitoring file handle events. This function requires that an event loop has previously been registered with virEventRegisterImpl() or virEventRegisterDefaultImpl().

fd:file handle to monitor for events
events:bitset of events to watch from virEventHandleType constants
cb:callback to invoke when an event occurs
opaque:user data to pass to callback
ff:callback to free opaque when handle is removed
Returns:-1 if the file handle cannot be registered, otherwise a handle watch number to be used for updating and unregistering for events.

virEventAddTimeout ()

int	virEventAddTimeout		(int timeout, 
virEventTimeoutCallback cb,
void * opaque,
virFreeCallback ff)

Register a callback for a timer event. This function requires that an event loop has previously been registered with virEventRegisterImpl() or virEventRegisterDefaultImpl(). Setting @timeout to -1 will disable the timer. Setting @timeout to zero will cause it to fire on every event loop iteration.

timeout:time between events in milliseconds
cb:callback to invoke when an event occurs
opaque:user data to pass to callback
ff:callback to free opaque when timeout is removed
Returns:-1 if the timer cannot be registered, a positive integer timer id upon success.


virEventRegisterImpl ()

void	virEventRegisterImpl		(virEventAddHandleFunc addHandle, 
virEventUpdateHandleFunc updateHandle,
virEventRemoveHandleFunc removeHandle,
virEventAddTimeoutFunc addTimeout,
virEventUpdateTimeoutFunc updateTimeout,
virEventRemoveTimeoutFunc removeTimeout)

Registers an event implementation, to allow integration with an external event loop. Applications would use this to integrate with the libglib2 event loop, or libevent or the QT event loop. Use of the virEventAddHandle() and similar APIs require that the corresponding handler is registered. Use of the virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny() and similar APIs requires that the three timeout handlers are registered. Likewise, the three timeout handlers must be registered if the remote server has been configured to send keepalive messages, or if the client intends to call virConnectSetKeepAlive(), to avoid either side from unexpectedly closing the connection due to inactivity. If an application does not need to integrate with an existing event loop implementation, then the virEventRegisterDefaultImpl() method can be used to setup the generic libvirt implementation.

addHandle:the callback to add fd handles
updateHandle:the callback to update fd handles
removeHandle:the callback to remove fd handles
addTimeout:the callback to add a timeout
updateTimeout:the callback to update a timeout
removeTimeout:the callback to remove a timeout







virInitialize ()

int	virInitialize			(void)

Initialize the library. This method is invoked automatically by any of the virConnectOpen() API calls, and by virGetVersion(). Since release 1.0.0, there is no need to call this method even in a multithreaded application, since initialization is performed in a thread safe manner; but applications using an older version of the library should manually call this before setting up competing threads that attempt virConnectOpen in parallel. The only other time it would be necessary to call virInitialize is if the application did not invoke virConnectOpen as its first API call, such as when calling virEventRegisterImpl() before setting up connections, or when using virSetErrorFunc() to alter error reporting of the first connection attempt.

Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of error

virInterfaceChangeBegin ()

int	virInterfaceChangeBegin		(virConnectPtr conn, 
unsigned int flags)

This function creates a restore point to which one can return later by calling virInterfaceChangeRollback(). This function should be called before any transaction with interface configuration. Once it is known that a new configuration works, it can be committed via virInterfaceChangeCommit(), which frees the restore point. If virInterfaceChangeBegin() is called when a transaction is already opened, this function will fail, and a VIR_ERR_INVALID_OPERATION will be logged.

conn:pointer to hypervisor connection
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

virInterfaceChangeCommit ()

Note: @expirytime can 0, in case the lease is for infinite time. The API fetches leases info of guests in the specified network. If the optional parameter @mac is specified, the returned list will contain only lease info about a specific guest interface with @mac. There can be multiple leases for a single @mac because this API supports DHCPv6 too.

Sometimes, when trying to start a new domain, it may be necessary to reserve some huge pages in the system pool which can be then allocated by the domain. This API serves that purpose. On its input, @pageSizes and @pageCounts are arrays of the same cardinality of @npages. The @pageSizes contains page sizes which are to be allocated in the system (the size unit is kibibytes), and @pageCounts then contains the number of pages to reserve. If @flags is 0 (VIR_NODE_ALLOC_PAGES_ADD), each pool corresponding to @pageSizes grows by the number of pages specified in the corresponding @pageCounts. If @flags contains VIR_NODE_ALLOC_PAGES_SET, each pool mentioned is resized to the given number of pages. The pages pool can be allocated over several NUMA nodes at once, just point at @startCell and tell how many subsequent NUMA nodes should be taken in. As a special case, if @startCell is equal to negative one, then kernel is instructed to allocate the pages over all NUMA nodes proportionally.

virNodeDeviceDetachFlags ()

int	virNodeDeviceDetachFlags	(virNodeDevicePtr dev,

Depending on the hypervisor, this may involve operations such as unbinding any device drivers from the device, binding the device to a dummy device driver and resetting the device. Different backend drivers expect the device to be bound to different dummy devices. For example, QEMU's "kvm" backend driver (the default) expects the device to be bound to "pci-stub", but its "vfio" backend driver expects the device to be bound to "vfio-pci". If the device is currently in use by the node, this method may fail. Once the device is not assigned to any guest, it may be re-attached to the node using the virNodeDeviceReAttach() method.

dev:pointer to the node device
driverName:name of backend driver that will be used for later device assignment to a domain. NULL means "use the hypervisor default driver"

Depending on the hypervisor, this may involve operations such as unbinding any device drivers from the device, binding the device to a dummy device driver and resetting the device. If the device is currently in use by the node, this method may fail. Once the device is not assigned to any guest, it may be re-attached to the node using the virNodeDeviceReattach() method. If the caller needs control over which backend driver will be used during PCI device assignment (to use something other than the default, for example VFIO), the newer virNodeDeviceDetachFlags() API should be used instead.

dev:pointer to the node device
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

int	virNodeDeviceReset		(virNodeDevicePtr dev)

Reset a previously dettached node device to the node before or after assigning it to a guest. The exact reset semantics depends on the hypervisor and device type but, for example, KVM will attempt to reset PCI devices with a Function Level Reset, Secondary Bus Reset or a Power Management D-State reset. If the reset will affect other devices which are currently in use, this function may fail.

Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virNodeGetCPUMap ()

int	virNodeGetCPUMap		(virConnectPtr conn, 
unsigned char ** cpumap,
unsigned int * online,
unsigned int flags)

Get CPU map of host node CPUs.

conn:pointer to the hypervisor connection
cpumap:optional pointer to a bit map of real CPUs on the host node (in 8-bit bytes) (OUT) In case of success each bit set to 1 means that corresponding CPU is online. Bytes are stored in little-endian order: CPU0-7, 8-15... In each byte, lowest CPU number is least significant bit. The bit map is allocated by virNodeGetCPUMap and needs to be released using free() by the caller.
online:optional number of online CPUs in cpumap (OUT) Contains the number of online CPUs if the call was successful.

Returns:number of CPUs present on the host node, or -1 if there was an error.

virNodeGetCPUStats ()

int	virNodeGetCPUStats		(virConnectPtr conn, 
int cpuNum,
virNodeCPUStatsPtr params,
int * nparams,
unsigned int flags)

This function provides individual cpu statistics of the node. If you want to get total cpu statistics of the node, you must specify VIR_NODE_CPU_STATS_ALL_CPUS to @cpuNum. The @params array will be filled with the values equal to the number of parameters suggested by @nparams As the value of @nparams is dynamic, call the API setting @nparams to 0 and @params as NULL, the API returns the number of parameters supported by the HV by updating @nparams on SUCCESS. The caller should then allocate @params array, i.e. (sizeof(@virNodeCPUStats) * @nparams) bytes and call the API again. Here is a sample code snippet: if (virNodeGetCPUStats(conn, cpuNum, NULL, &nparams, 0) == 0 && nparams != 0) { if ((params = malloc(sizeof(virNodeCPUStats) * nparams)) == NULL) goto error; memset(params, 0, sizeof(virNodeCPUStats) * nparams); if (virNodeGetCPUStats(conn, cpuNum, params, &nparams, 0)) goto error; } This function doesn't require privileged access to the hypervisor. This function expects the caller to allocate the @params. CPU time Statistics: VIR_NODE_CPU_STATS_KERNEL: The cumulative CPU time which spends by kernel, when the node booting up.(nanoseconds) VIR_NODE_CPU_STATS_USER: The cumulative CPU time which spends by user processes, when the node booting up.(nanoseconds) VIR_NODE_CPU_STATS_IDLE: The cumulative idle CPU time, when the node booting up.(nanoseconds) VIR_NODE_CPU_STATS_IOWAIT: The cumulative I/O wait CPU time, when the node booting up.(nanoseconds) VIR_NODE_CPU_STATS_UTILIZATION: The CPU utilization.

virNodeGetFreePages ()

int	virNodeGetFreePages		(virConnectPtr conn, 
unsigned int npages,
unsigned int * pages,
int startCell,
unsigned int cellCount,
unsigned long long * counts,
unsigned int flags)

This calls queries the host system on free pages of specified size. For the input, @pages is expected to be filled with pages that caller is interested in (the size unit is kibibytes, so e.g. pass 2048 for 2MB), then @startcell refers to the first NUMA node that info should be collected from, and @cellcount tells how many consecutive nodes should be queried. On the function output, @counts is filled with desired information, where items are grouped by NUMA node. So from @counts[0] till @counts[@npages - 1] you'll find count for the first node (@startcell), then from @counts[@npages] till @count[2 * @npages - 1] you'll find info for the (@startcell + 1) node, and so on. It's callers responsibility to allocate the @counts array. Example how to use this API: unsigned int pages[] = { 4, 2048, 1048576} unsigned int npages = ARRAY_CARDINALITY(pages); int startcell = 0; unsigned int cellcount = 2; unsigned long long counts = malloc(sizeof(long long) * npages * cellcount); virNodeGetFreePages(conn, pages, npages, startcell, cellcount, counts, 0); for (i = 0 ; i < cellcount ; i++) { fprintf(stdout, "Cell %d\n", startcell + i); for (j = 0 ; j < npages ; j++) { fprintf(stdout, " Page size=%d count=%d bytes=%llu\n", pages[j], counts[(i * npages) + j], pages[j] * counts[(i * npages) + j]); } } This little code snippet will produce something like this: Cell 0 Page size=4096 count=300 bytes=1228800 Page size=2097152 count=0 bytes=0 Page size=1073741824 count=1 bytes=1073741824 Cell 1 Page size=4096 count=0 bytes=0 Page size=2097152 count=20 bytes=41943040 Page size=1073741824 count=0 bytes=0

Since 1.0.1 VIR_STORAGE_VOL_CREATE_PREALLOC_METADATA in flags can be used to get higher performance with qcow2 image files which don't support full preallocation, by creating a sparse image file with metadata. virStorageVolFree should be used to free the resources after the storage volume object is no longer needed.

pool:pointer to storage pool
xmlDesc:description of volume to create
flags:bitwise-OR of virStorageVolCreateFlags
Returns:the storage volume, or NULL on error

virStorageVolCreateXMLFrom ()

virStorageVolPtr	virStorageVolCreateXMLFrom	(virStoragePoolPtr pool, 
const char * xmlDesc,
virStorageVolPtr clonevol,
unsigned int flags)

Create a storage volume in the parent pool, using the 'clonevol' volume as input. Information for the new volume (name, perms) are passed via a typical volume XML description. Since 1.0.1 VIR_STORAGE_VOL_CREATE_PREALLOC_METADATA in flags can be used to get higher performance with qcow2 image files which don't support full preallocation, by creating a sparse image file with metadata. virStorageVolFree should be used to free the resources after the storage volume object is no longer needed.

pool:pointer to parent pool for the new volume
xmlDesc:description of volume to create
clonevol:storage volume to use as input
flags:bitwise-OR of virStorageVolCreateFlags

virStorageVolDownload ()

int	virStorageVolDownload		(virStorageVolPtr vol, 
virStreamPtr stream,
unsigned long long offset,
unsigned long long length,
unsigned int flags)

Download the content of the volume as a stream. If @length is zero, then the remaining contents of the volume after @offset will be downloaded. This call sets up an asynchronous stream; subsequent use of stream APIs is necessary to transfer the actual data, determine how much data is successfully transferred, and detect any errors. The results will be unpredictable if another active stream is writing to the storage volume.

vol:pointer to volume to download from
stream:stream to use as output
offset:position in @vol to start reading from
length:limit on amount of data to download
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0

Returns:0 on success, or -1 on error

virStorageVolGetConnect ()

virConnectPtr	virStorageVolGetConnect	(virStorageVolPtr vol)

Provides the connection pointer associated with a storage volume. The reference counter on the connection is not increased by this call. WARNING: When writing libvirt bindings in other languages, do not use this function. Instead, store the connection and the volume object together.

vol:pointer to a pool
Returns:the virConnectPtr or NULL in case of failure.

vol:pointer to storage volume
info:pointer at which to store info
Returns:0 on success, or -1 on failure

virStorageVolGetKey ()

const char *	virStorageVolGetKey	(virStorageVolPtr vol)

Fetch the storage volume key. This is globally unique, so the same volume will have the same key no matter what host it is accessed from

vol:pointer to storage volume
Returns:the volume key, or NULL on error

virStorageVolGetName ()

const char *	virStorageVolGetName	(virStorageVolPtr vol)

Fetch the storage volume name. This is unique within the scope of a pool

vol:pointer to storage volume
Returns:the volume name, or NULL on error

virStorageVolGetPath ()

char *	virStorageVolGetPath		(virStorageVolPtr vol)

Fetch the storage volume path. Depending on the pool configuration this is either persistent across hosts, or dynamically assigned at pool startup. Consult pool documentation for information on getting the persistent naming

vol:pointer to storage volume
Returns:the storage volume path, or NULL on error. The caller must free() the returned path after use.

virStorageVolGetXMLDesc ()

char *	virStorageVolGetXMLDesc		(virStorageVolPtr vol, 
unsigned int flags)

Returns:the XML document, or NULL on error

virStorageVolLookupByKey ()

virStorageVolPtr	virStorageVolLookupByKey	(virConnectPtr conn, 
const char * key)

Fetch a pointer to a storage volume based on its globally unique key virStorageVolFree should be used to free the resources after the storage volume object is no longer needed.

conn:pointer to hypervisor connection
key:globally unique key
Returns:a storage volume, or NULL if not found / error

virStorageVolLookupByName ()

virStorageVolPtr	virStorageVolLookupByName	(virStoragePoolPtr pool, 
const char * name)

Fetch a pointer to a storage volume based on its name within a pool virStorageVolFree should be used to free the resources after the storage volume object is no longer needed.

pool:pointer to storage pool
name:name of storage volume
Returns:a storage volume, or NULL if not found / error

virStorageVolLookupByPath ()

virStorageVolPtr	virStorageVolLookupByPath	(virConnectPtr conn, 
const char * path)

Fetch a pointer to a storage volume based on its locally (host) unique path virStorageVolFree should be used to free the resources after the storage volume object is no longer needed.

conn:pointer to hypervisor connection
path:locally unique path
Returns:a storage volume, or NULL if not found / error

virStorageVolRef ()

int	virStorageVolRef		(virStorageVolPtr vol)

Increment the reference count on the vol. For each additional call to this method, there shall be a corresponding call to virStorageVolFree to release the reference count, once the caller no longer needs the reference to this object. This method is typically useful for applications where multiple threads are using a connection, and it is required that the connection remain open until all threads have finished using it. ie, each new thread using a vol would increment the reference count.

vol:the vol to hold a reference on
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

virStorageVolResize ()

int	virStorageVolResize		(virStorageVolPtr vol, 
unsigned long long capacity,
unsigned int flags)

Changes the capacity of the storage volume @vol to @capacity. The operation will fail if the new capacity requires allocation that would exceed the remaining free space in the parent pool. The contents of the new capacity will appear as all zero bytes. The capacity value will be rounded to the granularity supported by the hypervisor. Normally, the operation will attempt to affect capacity with a minimum impact on allocation (that is, the default operation favors a sparse resize). If @flags contains VIR_STORAGE_VOL_RESIZE_ALLOCATE, then the operation will ensure that allocation is sufficient for the new capacity; this may make the operation take noticeably longer. Normally, the operation treats @capacity as the new size in bytes; but if @flags contains VIR_STORAGE_VOL_RESIZE_DELTA, then @capacity represents the size difference to add to the current size. It is up to the storage pool implementation whether unaligned requests are rounded up to the next valid boundary, or rejected. Normally, this operation should only be used to enlarge capacity; but if @flags contains VIR_STORAGE_VOL_RESIZE_SHRINK, it is possible to attempt a reduction in capacity even though it might cause data loss. If VIR_STORAGE_VOL_RESIZE_DELTA is also present, then @capacity is subtracted from the current size; without it, @capacity represents the absolute new size regardless of whether it is larger or smaller than the current size.

vol:pointer to storage volume
capacity:new capacity, in bytes
flags:bitwise-OR of virStorageVolResizeFlags
Returns:0 on success, or -1 on error.

virStorageVolUpload ()

int	virStorageVolUpload		(virStorageVolPtr vol, 
virStreamPtr stream,
unsigned long long offset,
unsigned long long length,
unsigned int flags)

Upload new content to the volume from a stream. This call will fail if @offset + @length exceeds the size of the volume. Otherwise, if @length is non-zero, an error will be raised if an attempt is made to upload greater than @length bytes of data. This call sets up an asynchronous stream; subsequent use of stream APIs is necessary to transfer the actual data, determine how much data is successfully transferred, and detect any errors. The results will be unpredictable if another active stream is writing to the storage volume. When the data stream is closed whether the upload is successful or not the target storage pool will be refreshed to reflect pool and volume changes as a result of the upload. Depending on the target volume storage backend and the source stream type for a successful upload, the target volume may take on the characteristics from the source stream such as format type, capacity, and allocation.

vol:pointer to volume to upload
stream:stream to use as input
offset:position to start writing to
length:limit on amount of data to upload
flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:0, or -1 upon error.

flags:extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
Returns:0 on success, or -1 on error

virStorageVolWipePattern ()

int	virStorageVolWipePattern	(virStorageVolPtr vol, 
unsigned int algorithm,
unsigned int flags)

Similar to virStorageVolWipe, but one can choose between different wiping algorithms.

vol:pointer to storage volume
algorithm:one of virStorageVolWipeAlgorithm
flags:future flags, use 0 for now
Returns:0 on success, or -1 on error.

virStreamAbort ()

int	virStreamAbort			(virStreamPtr stream)

Request that the in progress data transfer be cancelled abnormally before the end of the stream has been reached. For output streams this can be used to inform the driver that the stream is being terminated early. For input streams this can be used to inform the driver that it should stop sending data.

stream:pointer to the stream object
Returns:0 on success, -1 upon error

virStreamEventAddCallback ()

int	virStreamEventAddCallback	(virStreamPtr stream, 
int events,
virStreamEventCallback cb,

stream:pointer to the stream object
events:set of events to monitor
Returns:0 on success, -1 if no callback is registered

virStreamFinish ()

int	virStreamFinish			(virStreamPtr stream)

Indicate that there is no further data to be transmitted on the stream. For output streams this should be called once all data has been written. For input streams this should be called once virStreamRecv returns end-of-file. This method is a synchronization point for all asynchronous errors, so if this returns a success code the application can be sure that all data has been successfully processed.

stream:pointer to the stream object
Returns:0 on success, -1 upon error

virStreamFree ()

int	virStreamFree			(virStreamPtr stream)

Decrement the reference count on a stream, releasing the stream object if the reference count has hit zero. There must not be an active data transfer in progress when releasing the stream. If a stream needs to be disposed of prior to end of stream being reached, then the virStreamAbort function should be called first.

stream:pointer to the stream object
Returns:0 upon success, or -1 on error

virStreamNew ()

virStreamPtr	virStreamNew		(virConnectPtr conn, 
unsigned int flags)

Creates a new stream object which can be used to perform streamed I/O with other public API function. When no longer needed, a stream object must be released with virStreamFree. If a data stream has been used, then the application must call virStreamFinish or virStreamAbort before free'ing to, in order to notify the driver of termination. If a non-blocking data stream is required passed VIR_STREAM_NONBLOCK for flags, otherwise pass 0.

conn:pointer to the connection
flags:bitwise-OR of virStreamFlags
Returns:the new stream, or NULL upon error

virStreamRecv ()

int	virStreamRecv			(virStreamPtr stream, 
char * data,
size_t nbytes)

Reads a series of bytes from the stream. This method may block the calling application for an arbitrary amount of time. Errors are not guaranteed to be reported synchronously with the call, but may instead be delayed until a subsequent call. An example using this with a hypothetical file download API looks like virStreamPtr st = virStreamNew(conn, 0); int fd = open("demo.iso", O_WRONLY, 0600); virConnectDownloadFile(conn, "demo.iso", st); while (1) { char buf[1024]; int got = virStreamRecv(st, buf, 1024); if (got < 0) break; if (got == 0) { virStreamFinish(st); break; } int offset = 0; while (offset < got) { int sent = write(fd, buf + offset, got - offset); if (sent < 0) { virStreamAbort(st); goto done; } offset += sent; } } if (virStreamFinish(st) < 0) ... report an error .... done: virStreamFree(st); close(fd);

stream:pointer to the stream object
data:buffer to read into from stream
nbytes:size of @data buffer
Returns:the number of bytes read, which may be less than requested. Returns 0 when the end of the stream is reached, at which time the caller should invoke virStreamFinish() to get confirmation of stream completion. Returns -1 upon error, at which time the stream will be marked as aborted, and the caller should now release the stream with virStreamFree. Returns -2 if there is no data pending to be read & the stream is marked as non-blocking.

virStreamRecvAll ()

int	virStreamRecvAll		(virStreamPtr stream, 
virStreamSinkFunc handler,
void * opaque)

Receive the entire data stream, sending the data to the requested data sink. This is simply a convenient alternative to virStreamRecv, for apps that do blocking-I/O. An example using this with a hypothetical file download API looks like int mysink(virStreamPtr st, const char *buf, int nbytes, void *opaque) { int *fd = opaque; return write(*fd, buf, nbytes); } virStreamPtr st = virStreamNew(conn, 0); int fd = open("demo.iso", O_WRONLY); virConnectUploadFile(conn, st); if (virStreamRecvAll(st, mysink, &fd) < 0) { ...report an error ... goto done; } if (virStreamFinish(st) < 0) ...report an error... virStreamFree(st); close(fd);

stream:pointer to the stream object
handler:sink callback for writing data to application
opaque:application defined data
Returns:0 if all the data was successfully received. The caller should invoke virStreamFinish(st) to flush the stream upon success and then virStreamFree Returns -1 upon any error, with virStreamAbort() already having been called, so the caller need only call virStreamFree()

virStreamRef ()

int	virStreamRef			(virStreamPtr stream)

Increment the reference count on the stream. For each additional call to this method, there shall be a corresponding call to virStreamFree to release the reference count, once the caller no longer needs the reference to this object.

stream:pointer to the stream
Returns:0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure

virStreamSend ()

int	virStreamSend			(virStreamPtr stream, 
const char * data,
size_t nbytes)

Write a series of bytes to the stream. This method may block the calling application for an arbitrary amount of time. Once an application has finished sending data it should call virStreamFinish to wait for successful confirmation from the driver, or detect any error. This method may not be used if a stream source has been registered. Errors are not guaranteed to be reported synchronously with the call, but may instead be delayed until a subsequent call. An example using this with a hypothetical file upload API looks like virStreamPtr st = virStreamNew(conn, 0); int fd = open("demo.iso", O_RDONLY); virConnectUploadFile(conn, "demo.iso", st); while (1) { char buf[1024]; int got = read(fd, buf, 1024); if (got < 0) { virStreamAbort(st); break; } if (got == 0) { virStreamFinish(st); break; } int offset = 0; while (offset < got) { int sent = virStreamSend(st, buf+offset, got-offset); if (sent < 0) { virStreamAbort(st); goto done; } offset += sent; } } if (virStreamFinish(st) < 0) ... report an error .... done: virStreamFree(st); close(fd);

stream:pointer to the stream object
data:buffer to write to stream
nbytes:size of @data buffer
Returns:the number of bytes written, which may be less than requested. Returns -1 upon error, at which time the stream will be marked as aborted, and the caller should now release the stream with virStreamFree. Returns -2 if the outgoing transmit buffers are full & the stream is marked as non-blocking.

virStreamSendAll ()

int	virStreamSendAll		(virStreamPtr stream, 
virStreamSourceFunc handler,
void * opaque)

Send the entire data stream, reading the data from the requested data source. This is simply a convenient alternative to virStreamSend, for apps that do blocking-I/O. An example using this with a hypothetical file upload API looks like int mysource(virStreamPtr st, char *buf, int nbytes, void *opaque) { int *fd = opaque; return read(*fd, buf, nbytes); } virStreamPtr st = virStreamNew(conn, 0); int fd = open("demo.iso", O_RDONLY); virConnectUploadFile(conn, st); if (virStreamSendAll(st, mysource, &fd) < 0) { ...report an error ... goto done; } if (virStreamFinish(st) < 0) ...report an error... virStreamFree(st); close(fd);

stream:pointer to the stream object
handler:source callback for reading data from application
opaque:application defined data
Returns:0 if all the data was successfully sent. The caller should invoke virStreamFinish(st) to flush the stream upon success and then virStreamFree Returns -1 upon any error, with virStreamAbort() already having been called, so the caller need only call virStreamFree()
