I still think virsh can be taught the convenience method. I agree that the lowlevel libvirt.so entry points don't need convenience, but we have already established that virsh is perfectly capable of doing 2 or more low-level API calls under a single command, in part because virsh has decent error reporting about which step of the sequence fails. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
