[libvirt] [Fwd: first cut public API for physical host interface configuration]

(Oops, I originally sent this with the wrong return address, which probably caused it to be silently swallowed...) To get started integrating libnetcf support into libvirt, the attached libvirt.h diff has a first attempt at the public API that will hook up to libnetcf on the libvirtd side. I started out with the virNetwork* API, and modified/removed as seemed appropriate. A few points worth mentioning: virNetwork has "defined" and "active" interfaces, but so far virInterface just has interfaces, as the active/inactive status is really controlled by 1) the "onboot" property in the XML, and 2) whether or not virInterfaceStart() has been called yet. The _virInterface struct that is referenced here is more or less identical to _virnetwork. libnetcf works with netcf structs (one per library instance) and netcf_if structs (one per interface, multiple per library instance. As far as I can see right now, the netcf struct will not need to be referenced directly from the client side, but the netcf_if for each interface is needed, and I guess a cookie representing it will be sent to the client side and stored in the _virInterface. Is that what the UUID in _virNetwork is used for? (I know, I know - "read the code!", it's just quicker to (and avoids misreading on my part) to ask) As before, any and all advice/corrections gratefully accepted! diff --git a/include/libvirt/libvirt.h b/include/libvirt/libvirt.h index 779ea72..cac400e 100644 --- a/include/libvirt/libvirt.h +++ b/include/libvirt/libvirt.h @@ -854,7 +854,73 @@ int virNetworkGetAutostart (virNetworkPtr network, int virNetworkSetAutostart (virNetworkPtr network, int autostart); +/* + * Physical host interface configuration API + */ + +/** + * virInterface: + * + * a virInterface is a private structure representing a virtual interface. + */ +typedef struct _virInterface virInterface; + +/** + * virInterfacePtr: + * + * a virInterfacePtr is pointer to a virInterface private structure, this is the + * type used to reference a virtual interface in the API. + */ +typedef virInterface *virInterfacePtr; + +/* + * Get connection from interface. + */ +virConnectPtr virInterfaceGetConnect (virInterfacePtr interface); + +/* + * List defined interfaces + */ +int virConnectNumOfInterfaces (virConnectPtr conn); +int virConnectListInterfaces (virConnectPtr conn, + char **const names, + int maxnames); + +/* + * Lookup interface by name + */ +virInterfacePtr virInterfaceLookupByName (virConnectPtr conn, + const char *name); + const char *uuid); + +/* + * Define interface (or modify existing interface configuration) + */ +virInterfacePtr virInterfaceDefineXML (virConnectPtr conn, + const char *xmlDesc); + +/* + * Delete interface + */ +int virInterfaceUndefine (virInterfacePtr interface); + +/* + * Activate interface (ie call "ifup") + */ +int virInterfaceStart (virInterfacePtr interface); + +/* + * De-activate interface (call "ifdown") + */ +int virInterfaceStop (virInterfacePtr interface); + +/* + * Interface information + */ +const char* virInterfaceGetName (virInterfacePtr interface); +char * virInterfaceGetXMLDesc (virInterfacePtr interface, + int flags); /** * virStoragePool: *
