Re: [PATCH] virsh: Allow listing just domain IDs

Some completers for libvirt related tools might want to list
domain IDs only. Just like the one I've implemented for
virt-viewer [1]. I've worked around it using some awk magic,
but if it was possible to just 'virsh list --id' then I could
drop awk.
IMO completing numeric IDs doesn't make much sense, they aren't
descriptive at all and I don't really see a point for users using them
on a commandline. If you are expanding both names and IDs then you'll
have twice as much completion suggestions on an empty string.
Is there a case where it would actually make sense? Specifically in
virsh we almost always accept id/name/UUID interchangably for a
'domain'.
