## 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.

### Macro VIR_DOMAIN_BLKIO_WEIGHT

    #define VIR_DOMAIN_BLKIO_WEIGHT;

Macro for the Blkio tunable weight: it represents the io weight the guest can use, as a uint.

### Macro VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COPY_BANDWIDTH

    #define VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COPY_BANDWIDTH;

Macro for the virDomainBlockCopy bandwidth tunable: it represents the maximum bandwidth in bytes/s, and is used while getting the copy operation into the mirrored phase, with a type of ullong. For compatibility with virDomainBlockJobSetSpeed(), values larger than 2^52 bytes/sec (a 32-bit MiB/s value) may be rejected on input due to overflow considerations (but do you really have an interface with that much bandwidth?), and values larger than 2^31 bytes/sec may cause overflow problems if queried in bytes/sec. Hypervisors may further restrict the set of valid values. Specifying 0 is the same as omitting this parameter, to request no bandwidth limiting. Some hypervisors may lack support for this parameter, while still allowing a subsequent change of bandwidth via virDomainBlockJobSetSpeed(). The actual speed can be determined with virDomainGetBlockJobInfo().

### Macro VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COPY_BUF_SIZE

    #define VIR_DOMAIN_BLOCK_COPY_BUF_SIZE;

Type for a callback cleanup function to be paired with a callback. This function will be called as a final chance to clean up the @opaque registered with the primary callback, at the time when the primary callback is deregistered. It is forbidden to call any other libvirt APIs from an implementation of this callback, since it can be invoked from a context which is not re-entrant safe. Failure to abide by this requirement may lead to application deadlocks or crashes.

`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 consumed or -1 upon error

The virStreamSourceFunc callback is used together with the virStreamSendAll function for libvirt to obtain the data that is to be sent. 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

`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)

`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)

`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.

    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.

    						 virDomainPtr dom,
    						 int eventID,
    						 virConnectDomainEventGenericCallback cb,

    						 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 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.

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).

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.

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

### virConnectNetworkEventRegisterAny ()

    						 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.

### 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 ()

    					 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. 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
`flags`: | bitwise-OR of supported virDomainCreateFlags
`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.

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
`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.

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

### 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,

    					 unsigned int flags)

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

`domain`: | a domain object

### 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.

### virDomainGetEmulatorPinInfo ()

`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
`flags`: | extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
`Returns`: | the hostname which must be freed by the caller, or NULL if there was an error.

    					 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

    					 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

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.

    					 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

    					 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.

`params`: | pointer to numa parameter object (return value, allocated by the caller)
`nparams`: | pointer to number of numa parameters
`flags`: | bitwise-OR of virDomainModificationImpact and virTypedParameterFlags

`domain`: | pointer to domain object, or NULL for Domain0
`ncpumaps`: | the number of cpumap (listed first to match virDomainGetVcpus)
`cpumaps`: | pointer to a bit map of real CPUs for all vcpus of this domain (in 8-bit bytes) (OUT) It's assumed there is <ncpumaps> cpumap in cpumaps array. The memory allocated to cpumaps must be (ncpumaps * maplen) bytes (ie: calloc(ncpumaps, maplen)). One cpumap inside cpumaps has the format described in virDomainPinVcpu() API. 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`: | the number of virtual CPUs in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

### virDomainGetVcpus ()

    int	virDomainGetVcpus		(virDomainPtr domain,
    					 virVcpuInfoPtr info,
    					 int maxinfo,
    					 unsigned char * cpumaps,
    					 int maplen)

Extract information about virtual CPUs of domain, store it in info array and also in cpumaps if this pointer isn't NULL. This call may fail on an inactive domain. See also virDomainGetVcpuPinInfo for querying just cpumaps, including on an inactive domain.

`domain`: | pointer to domain object, or NULL for Domain0
`info`: | pointer to an array of virVcpuInfo structures (OUT)
`maxinfo`: | number of structures in info array
`cpumaps`: | pointer to a bit map of real CPUs for all vcpus of this domain (in 8-bit bytes) (OUT) If cpumaps is NULL, then no cpumap information is returned by the API. It's assumed there is <maxinfo> cpumap in cpumaps array. The memory allocated to cpumaps must be (maxinfo * maplen) bytes (ie: calloc(maxinfo, maplen)). One cpumap inside cpumaps has the format described in virDomainPinVcpu() API.

`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 ()

    char *	virDomainGetXMLDesc		(virDomainPtr domain,
    					 unsigned int flags)

Provide an XML description of the domain. The description may be reused later to relaunch the domain with virDomainCreateXML(). 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
`flags`: | extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
`Returns`: | 1 if such snapshot exists, 0 if it doesn't, -1 on error.

### 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.

`dom`: | pointer to the domain
`flags`: | extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
`Returns`: | 0 if no image is present, 1 if an image is present, and -1 in case of error

### virDomainInjectNMI ()

### 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

### virDomainIsPersistent ()

### virDomainIsUpdated ()

    int	virDomainIsUpdated		(virDomainPtr dom)

Determine if the domain has been updated.

`dom`: | pointer to the domain object

### 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. 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.

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. 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

`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).

    					 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_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 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. 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.

`domain`: | a domain object
`duri`: | mandatory URI for the destination host
`flags`: | bitwise-OR of virDomainMigrateFlags
`dname`: | (optional) rename domain to this at destination
`bandwidth`: | (optional) specify migration bandwidth limit in MiB/s
`Returns`: | 0 if the migration succeeded, -1 upon error.

### virDomainMigrateToURI2 ()

    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_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 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. 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.

`domain`: | a domain object
`dconnuri`: | (optional) URI for target libvirtd if @flags includes VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER
`miguri`: | (optional) URI for invoking the migration, not if @flags includs VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED
`dxml`: | (optional) XML config for launching guest on target
`flags`: | bitwise-OR of virDomainMigrateFlags
`dname`: | (optional) rename domain to this at destination
`bandwidth`: | (optional) specify migration bandwidth limit in MiB/s
`Returns`: | 0 if the migration succeeded, -1 upon error.

### 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
`flags`: | bitwise-OR of virDomainMigrateFlags
`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.

### virDomainSetAutostart ()

    int	virDomainSetAutostart		(virDomainPtr domain,

Configure the domain to be automatically started when the host machine boots.

`domain`: | a domain object
`autostart`: | whether the domain should be automatically started 0 or 1
`Returns`: | -1 in case of error, 0 in case of success

### virDomainSetBlkioParameters ()

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

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

    					 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.

`dom`: | pointer to domain object
`disk`: | path to the block device, or device shorthand
`params`: | Pointer to blkio parameter objects
`nparams`: | Number of blkio 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.

    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

`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,
    					 int nparams,
    					 unsigned int flags)

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

`domain`: | pointer to domain object
`params`: | pointer to memory parameter objects
`nparams`: | number of memory 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.

### 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 ()

    					 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. 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. Note that this command is inherently racy: another connection can define a new snapshot between a call to virDomainSnapshotNum() 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 virDomainListAllSnapshots().

### 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. 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.

`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. 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.

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.

### virEventRegisterDefaultImpl ()

    int	virEventRegisterDefaultImpl	(void)

Registers a default event implementation based on the poll() system call. This is a generic implementation that can be used by any client application which does not have a need to integrate with an external event loop impl. Once registered, the application has to invoke virEventRunDefaultImpl() in a loop to process events. Failure to do so may result in connections being closed unexpectedly as a result of keepalive timeout. The default event loop fully supports handle and timeout events, but only wakes up on events registered by libvirt API calls such as virEventAddHandle() or virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny().

`Returns`: | 0 on success, -1 on failure.

### 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

### virEventRemoveHandle ()

    int	virEventRemoveHandle		(int watch)

Unregister a callback from a file handle. This function requires that an event loop has previously been registered with virEventRegisterImpl() or virEventRegisterDefaultImpl().

`watch`: | watch whose file handle to remove
`Returns`: | -1 if the file handle was not registered, 0 upon success.

### virEventRemoveTimeout ()

    int	virEventRemoveTimeout		(int timer)

Unregister a callback for a timer. This function requires that an event loop has previously been registered with virEventRegisterImpl() or virEventRegisterDefaultImpl().

`timer`: | the timer id to remove
`Returns`: | -1 if the timer was not registered, 0 upon success.

### virEventRunDefaultImpl ()

    int	virEventRunDefaultImpl		(void)

Run one iteration of the event loop. Applications will generally want to have a thread which invokes this method in an infinite loop. Furthermore, it is wise to set up a pipe-to-self handler (via virEventAddHandle()) or a timeout (via virEventAddTimeout()) before calling this function, as it will block forever if there are no registered events. static bool quit = false; while (!quit) { if (virEventRunDefaultImpl() < 0) ...print error... }

`Returns`: | 0 on success, -1 on failure.

### virEventUpdateHandle ()

    void	virEventUpdateHandle		(int watch,
    					 int events)

Change event set for a monitored file handle. This function requires that an event loop has previously been registered with virEventRegisterImpl() or virEventRegisterDefaultImpl(). Will not fail if fd exists.

`watch`: | watch whose file handle to update
`events`: | bitset of events to watch from virEventHandleType constants

### virEventUpdateTimeout ()

    void	virEventUpdateTimeout		(int timer,
    					 int timeout)

Change frequency for a timer. This function requires that an event loop has previously been registered with virEventRegisterImpl() or virEventRegisterDefaultImpl(). Setting frequency to -1 will disable the timer. Setting the frequency to zero will cause it to fire on every event loop iteration. Will not fail if timer exists.

`timer`: | timer id to change
`timeout`: | time between events in milliseconds

### virGetVersion ()

    int	virGetVersion			(unsigned long * libVer,
    					 const char * type,
    					 unsigned long * typeVer)

Provides version information. @libVer is the version of the library and will always be set unless an error occurs, in which case an error code will be returned. @typeVer exists for historical compatibility; if it is not NULL it will duplicate @libVer (it was originally intended to return hypervisor information based on @type, but due to the design of remote clients this is not reliable). To get the version of the running hypervisor use the virConnectGetVersion() function instead. To get the libvirt library version used by a connection use the virConnectGetLibVersion() instead. This function includes a call to virInitialize() when necessary.

`libVer`: | return value for the library version (OUT)
`type`: | ignored; pass NULL
`typeVer`: | pass NULL; for historical purposes duplicates @libVer if non-NULL
`Returns`: | -1 in case of failure, 0 otherwise, and values for @libVer and @typeVer have the format major * 1,000,000 + minor * 1,000 + release.

### 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 ()

    int	virInterfaceChangeCommit	(virConnectPtr conn,
    					 unsigned int flags)

This commits the changes made to interfaces and frees the restore point created by virInterfaceChangeBegin(). If virInterfaceChangeCommit() is called when a transaction is not 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.

### virInterfaceChangeRollback ()

    int	virInterfaceChangeRollback	(virConnectPtr conn,
    					 unsigned int flags)

This cancels changes made to interfaces settings by restoring previous state created by virInterfaceChangeBegin(). If virInterfaceChangeRollback() is called when a transaction is not 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.

### virInterfaceCreate ()

    int	virInterfaceCreate		(virInterfacePtr iface,
    					 unsigned int flags)

Activate an interface (i.e. call "ifup"). If there was an open network config transaction at the time this interface was defined (that is, if virInterfaceChangeBegin() had been called), the interface will be brought back down (and then undefined) if virInterfaceChangeRollback() is called.

`iface`: | pointer to a defined interface
`flags`: | extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
`Returns`: | 0 in case of success, -1 in case of error

### virInterfaceDefineXML ()

    virInterfacePtr	virInterfaceDefineXML	(virConnectPtr conn,
    					 const char * xml,
    					 unsigned int flags)

Define an interface (or modify existing interface configuration). Normally this change in the interface configuration is immediately permanent/persistent, but if virInterfaceChangeBegin() has been previously called (i.e. if an interface config transaction is open), the new interface definition will only become permanent if virInterfaceChangeCommit() is called prior to the next reboot of the system running libvirtd. Prior to that time, it can be explicitly removed using virInterfaceChangeRollback(), or will be automatically removed during the next reboot of the system running libvirtd. virInterfaceFree should be used to free the resources after the interface object is no longer needed.

`conn`: | pointer to the hypervisor connection
`xml`: | the XML description for the interface, preferably in UTF-8
`flags`: | extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
`Returns`: | NULL in case of error, a pointer to the interface otherwise

### virInterfaceDestroy ()

    int	virInterfaceDestroy		(virInterfacePtr iface,
    					 unsigned int flags)

deactivate an interface (ie call "ifdown") This does not remove the interface from the config, and does not free the associated virInterfacePtr object. If there is an open network config transaction at the time this interface is destroyed (that is, if virInterfaceChangeBegin() had been called), and if the interface is later undefined and then virInterfaceChangeRollback() is called, the restoral of the interface definition will also bring the interface back up.

`iface`: | an interface 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.

### virInterfaceFree ()

    int	virInterfaceFree		(virInterfacePtr iface)

Free the interface object. The interface itself is unaltered. The data structure is freed and should not be used thereafter.

`iface`: | an interface object
`Returns`: | 0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure.

### virInterfaceGetConnect ()

    virConnectPtr	virInterfaceGetConnect	(virInterfacePtr iface)

Provides the connection pointer associated with an interface. 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 interface object together.

`iface`: | pointer to an interface
`Returns`: | the virConnectPtr or NULL in case of failure.

### virInterfaceGetMACString ()

    const char *	virInterfaceGetMACString	(virInterfacePtr iface)

    const char *	virInterfaceGetName	(virInterfacePtr iface)

Get the public name for that interface

`iface`: | an interface object
`Returns`: | a pointer to the name or NULL, the string need not be deallocated its lifetime will be the same as the interface object.

### virInterfaceGetXMLDesc ()

    char *	virInterfaceGetXMLDesc		(virInterfacePtr iface,
    					 unsigned int flags)

VIR_INTERFACE_XML_INACTIVE - return the static configuration, suitable for use redefining the interface via virInterfaceDefineXML() Provide an XML description of the interface. If VIR_INTERFACE_XML_INACTIVE is set, the description may be reused later to redefine the interface with virInterfaceDefineXML(). If it is not set, the ip address and netmask will be the current live setting of the interface, not the settings from the config files.

`iface`: | an interface object
`flags`: | bitwise-OR of extraction flags. Current valid bits:
`Returns`: | a 0 terminated UTF-8 encoded XML instance, or NULL in case of error. the caller must free() the returned value.

Determine if the interface is currently running

`iface`: | pointer to the interface object
`Returns`: | 1 if running, 0 if inactive, -1 on error

### virInterfaceLookupByMACString ()

    virInterfacePtr	virInterfaceLookupByMACString	(virConnectPtr conn,
    						 const char * macstr)

Try to lookup an interface on the given hypervisor based on its MAC. virInterfaceFree should be used to free the resources after the interface object is no longer needed.

`conn`: | pointer to the hypervisor connection
`macstr`: | the MAC for the interface (null-terminated ASCII format)
`Returns`: | a new interface object or NULL in case of failure. If the interface cannot be found, then VIR_ERR_NO_INTERFACE error is raised.

### virInterfaceLookupByName ()

    virInterfacePtr	virInterfaceLookupByName	(virConnectPtr conn,
    						 const char * name)

Try to lookup an interface on the given hypervisor based on its name. virInterfaceFree should be used to free the resources after the interface object is no longer needed.

### virInterfaceRef ()

    int	virInterfaceRef			(virInterfacePtr iface)

Increment the reference count on the interface. For each additional call to this method, there shall be a corresponding call to virInterfaceFree 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 an interface would increment the reference count.

`iface`: | the interface to hold a reference on
`Returns`: | 0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.

### virInterfaceUndefine ()

    int	virInterfaceUndefine		(virInterfacePtr iface)

Undefine an interface, ie remove it from the config. This does not free the associated virInterfacePtr object. Normally this change in the interface configuration is permanent/persistent, but if virInterfaceChangeBegin() has been previously called (i.e. if an interface config transaction is open), the removal of the interface definition will only become permanent if virInterfaceChangeCommit() is called prior to the next reboot of the system running libvirtd. Prior to that time, the definition can be explicitly restored using virInterfaceChangeRollback(), or will be automatically restored during the next reboot of the system running libvirtd.

`iface`: | pointer to a defined interface
`Returns`: | 0 in case of success, -1 in case of error

### virNWFilterDefineXML ()

    virNWFilterPtr	virNWFilterDefineXML	(virConnectPtr conn,
    					 const char * xmlDesc)

### virNWFilterGetName ()

    const char *	virNWFilterGetName	(virNWFilterPtr nwfilter)

Get the public name for the network filter

`nwfilter`: | a nwfilter object

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.

the number of leases found or -1 and sets @leases to NULL in case of error. On success, the array stored into @leases 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 virNetworkDHCPLeaseFree() on each array element, then calling free() on @leases. See also virNetworkGetDHCPLeasesForMAC() as a convenience for filtering the list to a single MAC address. Example of usage: virNetworkDHCPLeasePtr *leases = NULL; virNetworkPtr network = ... obtain a network pointer here ...; size_t i; int nleases; unsigned int flags = 0; nleases = virNetworkGetDHCPLeases(network, NULL, &leases, flags); if (nleases < 0) error(); ... do something with returned values, for example: for (i = 0; i < nleases; i++) { virNetworkDHCPLeasePtr lease = leases[i]; printf("Time(epoch): %lu, MAC address: %s, " "IP address: %s, Hostname: %s, ClientID: %s\n", lease->expirytime, lease->mac, lease->ipaddr, lease->hostname, lease->clientid); virNetworkDHCPLeaseFree(leases[i]); } free(leases);

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.

Detach the node device from the node itself so that it may be assigned to a guest domain. 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"

Dettach the node device from the node itself so that it may be assigned to a guest domain. 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.

    					 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.

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

Get all node memory parameters (parameters unsupported by OS will be omitted). 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.

`conn`: | pointer to the hypervisor connection
`params`: | pointer to memory parameter object (return value, allocated by the caller)

This function provides memory stats of the node. If you want to get total memory statistics of the node, you must specify VIR_NODE_MEMORY_STATS_ALL_CELLS to @cellNum. The @params array will be filled with the values equal to the number of stats 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(@virNodeMemoryStats) * @nparams) bytes and call the API again. Here is the sample code snippet: if (virNodeGetMemoryStats(conn, cellNum, NULL, &nparams, 0) == 0 && nparams != 0) { if ((params = malloc(sizeof(virNodeMemoryStats) * nparams)) == NULL) goto error; memset(params, cellNum, 0, sizeof(virNodeMemoryStats) * nparams); if (virNodeGetMemoryStats(conn, params, &nparams, 0)) goto error; } This function doesn't require privileged access to the hypervisor. This function expects the caller to allocate the @params. Memory Stats: VIR_NODE_MEMORY_STATS_TOTAL: The total memory usage.(KB) VIR_NODE_MEMORY_STATS_FREE: The free memory usage.(KB) On linux, this usage includes buffers and cached. VIR_NODE_MEMORY_STATS_BUFFERS: The buffers memory usage.(KB) VIR_NODE_MEMORY_STATS_CACHED: The cached memory usage.(KB)

`conn`: | pointer to the hypervisor connection.

    					 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

`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)

### 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.

    					 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 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,
    					 void * opaque,

`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()

Finds typed parameter called @name and store its long long int value in @value. The function fails with VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG error if the parameter does not have the expected type. By passing NULL as @value, the function may be used to check presence and type of the parameter.

`params`: | array of typed parameters
`nparams`: | number of parameters in the @params array
`name`: | name of the parameter to find
`value`: | where to store the parameter's value
`Returns`: | 1 on success, 0 when the parameter does not exist in @params, or -1 on error.

### virTypedParamsGetString ()

    int	virTypedParamsGetString		(virTypedParameterPtr params,
    					 int nparams,
    					 const char * name,
    					 const char ** value)

Finds typed parameter called @name and store its char * value in @value. The function does not create a copy of the string and the caller must not free the string @value points to. The function fails with VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG error if the parameter does not have the expected type. By passing NULL as @value, the function may be used to check presence and type of the parameter.

`params`: | array of typed parameters
`nparams`: | number of parameters in the @params array
`name`: | name of the parameter to find
`value`: | where to store the parameter's value
`Returns`: | 1 on success, 0 when the parameter does not exist in @params, or -1 on error.

### virTypedParamsGetUInt ()

    int	virTypedParamsGetUInt		(virTypedParameterPtr params,
    					 int nparams,
    					 const char * name,
    					 unsigned int * value)

Finds typed parameter called @name and store its unsigned int value in @value. The function fails with VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG error if the parameter does not have the expected type. By passing NULL as @value, the function may be used to check presence and type of the parameter.

`params`: | array of typed parameters
`nparams`: | number of parameters in the @params array
