Don't use tempnam.
It poses a security risk (symlink attack in a race to open).
Use mkstemp instead, but you'll have to form the concatenation
of $TMPDIR (if defined, else /tmp) with a template like /virshXXXXXX.

Use asprintf rather than a fixed-sized buffer.
Otherwise, if EDITOR and/or TMPDIR are long enough, the result won't fit.
What if either contains shell meta-characters?
To accommodate you'd have to shell-quote as needed, or (as I prefer)
simply detect the bogosity and refuse to run the command.

Have you considered factoring these three?
At 70-80 lines each, with so much common code, it's begging for it.
Two approaches:
Pure C would require lots of ugly casts and would end up
worse than the duplication.
However, consider putting this into a new file, say virsh-dom-edit.c
(or better, just extracting it from virsh.c)
static vshCmdInfo info_edit[] = { ...
static vshCmdOptDef opts_edit[] = { ...
static int
cmdEdit (vshControl *ctl, vshCmd *cmd)
{
...
}
With that, we could use a few sed substitutions to automatically derive
virsh-net-edit.c and virsh-pool-edit.c, and then replace the two +80-line
blocks of duplicate code with these two lines:
#include "virsh-net-edit.c"
#include "virsh-pool-edit.c"
If you do that, you'll have to add both new file names to the
list of built sources in src/Makefile.am:
BUILT_SOURCES += virsh-net-edit.c virsh-pool-edit.c

I certainly did!
Normally of course I'd do it with closures, but ...
I'll go with the 'sed' approach unless anyone stronly objects to that.

virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines. Tiny program with many
powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc.

Thanks for reviewing this patch.

Yes, not quite sure what I was thinking of there. The new version
should reject characters in both the editor & filename which are
not in a small recognized set of characters.
You can mark entries as "const":
static const vshCmdOptDef opts_edit[] = {
This gives an error because the vshCmdDef array where we aggregate all
of these doesn't expect the const pointer. Obviously it's a general
const-correctness problem which needs a separate patch to fix
throughout the whole file.
A new patch is attached which should address everything that you
mentioned.

Don't redirect directly to $@.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong before the output is completely written,
you're left with a corrupt input that has an up-to-date time stamp.
That can be a pain to diagnose.
Also, if you make each generated file read-only, then even those
who don't spot the Auto-Generated-from comment at the top will have
a hard time accidentally changing it.
Also, you can include dependent names in the comment with "$^":
I indented the "sed" command so it's clearer that it's
on a backslash-continued line:
virsh-net-edit.c: virsh.c Makefile.am
rm -f $@-t $@
echo '/* Automatically generated from: $^ */' > $@-t
echo 'static int' >> $@-t
awk '/^cmdEdit/, /^}/' $< \

-e 's/cmdEdit/cmdNetworkEdit/g' \
-e 's/dom/network/g' \
> $@-t
chmod a-w $@-t
mv $@-t $@
This is longer than the original rule, but it's for a good cause:
the point is to better protect readers/builders/developers.
We incur the cost of writing Makefile.am once, but the audience
will be saved some small wasted effort over and over ;-)
Yes, there are many other rules that can benefit from the same
treatment. have to start somewhere.

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH] virsh edit (v4)
Here's version 4 of the patch, which I believe covers all the things
you've raised. The changes since version 3 are:
(a) 'sed' snippets reformulated as you suggested
(b) const-correctness changes added to this patch
(c) We don't include the generated files virsh-net-edit.c or
virsh-pool-edit.c in CVS (or in the tarball).
Rich.
