If you start a guest with qemu command line directly, there
is no libvirt XML for it, libvirt doesn't try to manage
guest which is not created through libvirt API.
However, you _can_ teach libvirt about certain guests started directly
by qemu; the 'virsh qemu-attach' command can attach to guests that were
properly started with a socket monitor.
For a guest created through libvirt, and it's persistent,
the persistent XML is stored in /etc/libvirt/qemu/, and
the running state XML is in /var/run/libvirt/qemu/, and
Note that these files are to be treated as read-only. If you want to
modify the guest, you must not edit these files, but instead should use
commands like 'virsh edit' for the persistent definition, and hotplug
actions like 'virsh add-device' for the live definition.
you would see the generated qemu command line by libvirt
either by
# ps -ef | grep qemu
# cat /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$guest.log
