[Libvir] virDomainKernelPtr

I noticed that there's a struct virDomainKernel in libvirt.h, but there aren't any functions that populate the struct yet. Could anyone comment on how close such a function is to becoming available. If it's underway, great :-) Otherwise, would the developers be interested in someone else working on a patch? -bryan - Bryan D.

Hi, sorry for replying a bit late, I'm at a conference. Yes the data structure is there but it's not used. Do we really need a function to fill stuch a structure ? It sounds a bit redundant with what virDomainGetXMLDesc() will return, with the additional caveat that if you access a different kind of virtualization engine (like QEmu) or not running a Linux/Unix system this won't make any sense either. Let's say it's a remain of thinking out loud with the fingers and whould actually be removed from the header file instead. Otherwise in general I'm rather happy to receive patches :-) Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Red Hat http://redhat.com/ veillard@redhat.com | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/

Ahhh, I wasn't aware that virDomainGetXMLDesc returned that kind of information. But a quick test shows that it is just what I need :-)

Good to know... Thanks, bryan - Bryan D. Payne Graduate Student, Computer Science Georgia Tech Information Security Center http://www.bryanpayne.org
