Anno domini 2010 Daniel P. Berrange scripsit: Hi! [...]
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.
Modulo the obvious race condition where a guest starts/stops in between the time you call those two functions :-)
One of these days I'll have time to add an API I've long wanted - one that lists all domains, and returns the virDomainPtr objects directly
virConnectListAllDomains(virConnectPtr conn, virDomainPtr *domains, int *ndomains);
where libvirt allocates 'domains' to be the right size, not requiring the caller todo so. Similarly this same API pattern for all other objects virNetworkPtr, virStoragePoolPtr, etc, etc
This would be _really_ appreciated :) Ciao Max -- Eine Freie Meinung in einem Freien Kopf für einen Freien Staat voll Freier Bürger.
