Hi,

As I want to start qemu by adding following parameters :

-device virtio-serial -chardev socket,path=/tmp/foo,server,nowait,id=test -device virtserialport,chardev=test,name=port.0

Is it possible to add them in the .xml configuration file of the guest , so they will be automatically added when the guest is started ?

If you don't actually care that much about the id and name, then yes: <channel type='unix'> <source type='bind' path='/tmp/foo'/> <target type='virtio' port='0'/> </channel> If you do, then it's possible too, but unsupported.

If yes , any doc describing the syntax ?
