[libvirt] VM/Domain "Start" method in libvirt API

Hi, I was referring to the libvirt API reference from the foll link: http://www.libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html There are functions for Suspending, ShuttingDown or Rebooting the VM like virDomainSuspend, virDomainShutdown or virDomainReboot respectively. But I did not find any method for starting a particular domain/VM like virDomainStart. There is a function in virsh for doing the same: virsh start <domain> [--console] Is there any other alternative method for "starting"a given domain?? Thanks and Regards Sagar Barve
