Daniel, 

That got me up and running quickly. The examples were easy to follow, all I had to do was read a couple of the xml documents to figure out how to get what I was after. Thank you, and the rest of the people working on the project, for all the effort you've put into libvirt!

Yes, the test:///default URI is shared process-global state.

Pass in a path to a custom XML file for the connection

eg:

   test:///path/to/checkout/of/libvirt.git/examples/xml/test/testnode.xml

every instance of a file base URL will be unique. See this example
file for guidance on how to write the XML to pre-populate arbitrary
resources

Regards,
Daniel
