Then using fds=integer:integer on the command line makes the most sense, and QMP uses fds=name:name where name was specified by 'getfd', and there is no way to wire up qemu_open() nor any need to use 'add-fd'. Okay, my question has been answered, your approach looks right now that I know more about how -netdev works to begin with. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
