Re: [libvirt] Just to make sure I understand the API

To make sure I understand the API. If I have a domain defined, but not started.. it will show up in the list returned by:

virConnectListDefinedDomains

but not in the list

virConnectListDomains

Conversely, if it is started... it will only be in the list:

virConnectListDomains

not in the list

virConnectListDefinedDomains

Is that correct?

Yes, that's the correct behavior of these functions. virConnectListDefinedDomains list domains that are inactive but defined and virConnectListDomains lists domains that are active. If you combine the output of both functions then you get the complete list of domains libvirt knows about for a given host. Matthias
