Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 3/7] snapshot: Add flag to enable creating checkpoints in paused state

The default behavior while creating external checkpoints is to let the guest run while the memory state is caputred. This leads to a larger

save file but minimizes the time needed to take the checkpoint.

This patch adds a flag that causes the guest to be paused before taking the snapshot. *include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: - add new paused reason: VIR_DOMAIN_PAUSED_SNAPSHOT - add new flag for takin snapshot: VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_PAUSE *tools/virsh-domain-monitor.c: - add string representation for VIR_DOMAIN_PAUSED_SNAPSHOT *tools/virsh-snapshot.c: - add support for VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_PAUSE *tools/virsh.pod: - add docs for --pause option added to use VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_PAUSE flag
