The other two > virStorageVolLookupBy* functions take a virConnectPtr directly. There are 3 levels of unique identifiers in storage volumes - name - unique within the scope of a Pool - key - unique across any machine accessing the same pool - path - unique within scope of a host (optionally across any host, if the pool impl supports that). So, since name is unique within scope of a volume, while the others are unique within scope of a host, the virStorageVolLookupByName method is different, taking a virStoragePoolPtr instead of a virConnectPtr.
