As I said earlier, if you are interested in reading what is in the guest's disk, you might find libguestfs to be a more powerful tool. Alas, no one has yet wired up virsh to call virDomainMemoryPeek (patches welcome), and I don't personally have any example programs that use it. Rich Jones might have some better ideas (as both author of libguestfs, and as the implementer of virDomainMemoryPeek). -- Eric Blake eblake(a)redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
