I can't find any reference to the difference between type 'dev' and type 'pty' at the libvirt.org site. In any case, crashing on an incorrect type argument suggests a certain lack of robustness. >|That quoted piece is just the example of the general syntax. >|It is not clearly labeled as such, but probably should be. Your colleague suggested the example "didn't make sense." Whatever "general syntax" might be, shouldn't the example make sense?
