There is the clone which I think about for the purpose of reprinting
an as possible state as is. So this first revision is primmitive.
Also It is thought that information that must not overlap as a virtual
machine should change automatically. But I am thinking this enhaunce it
below.
1)--name new clone vm name
2)--mac new clone mac address
3)--format destination devies initialized befor cloning
4)--wait wait cloning porcess
I want to dettach the cloning process and to show the
state with the "cloning" by virsh.
Look this is all arguments already presents in some form at the
virt-manager level. There is just too many similarities to ignore it.

I see. So I put down to virsh used libvirt library instead of libvirt.
# but I also unterstand that put ing down to virsh cannot remote support
Remote support will need plugging at the API level. I think prototyping
within virt-manager will get you to more feedback and features faster.
Then in turn this will make the analysis required to check feasibility and
do the API design faster too. IMHO you will get where you want faster
if you do the first tool step in virt-manager, really.
