Re: [libvirt-users] C code to generate domain XML

On 03/19/2015 02:50 PM, Parvathi wrote: As to your direct question, yes, libvirt.git contains code to generate domain XML - when you do something like 'virsh edit', you are doing a round trip of libvirtd generating XML, virsh displaying it for you to edit, virsh handing your edits back to libvirtd, and libvirtd parsing the edited XML. The libvirtd side of that lives in src/conf/domain_conf.c and friends. But it sounds like you may be asking a higher-level question not about libvirtd's internals but about what other client softward can use to ease its own management of XML. You may be interested in the libvirt-glib project. Here's a blog entry with more details: https://www.berrange.com/posts/2011/11/22/introducing-the-libvirt-glib-a-... In particular, the libvirt-gconfig subproject deals with C code (and other language bindings) for more easily generating libvirt XML within the framework of glib's GObject classes. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
