Hello all,
I'm currently writing a C program that uses the libvirt API and I need a way to obtain the pid of a given domain's QEMU process.
Specifically, I'm writing an ivshmem server that uses SO_PEERCRED to get the pid of clients that connect to it, and I would like to use that pid to look up the domain in libvirt to determine the proper domain ID to return to the client.
As far as I can tell, libvirt doesn't expose this information in an easy to access manner. Of course it is possible to call `ps` and grep for the information I'm looking for, but I was hoping for a cleaner solution.
If anybody knows how to do this, advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
There isn't any libvirt API for getting the qemu pid, so I think going outside libvirt is your only option - Cole
