Hello libvirt fellows,

I have some problems to distinguish between those function calls in libvirt
API:

virConnectNumOfDefinedDomains
virConnectNumOfDomains
The API description states on both function that they will return me the
number of active domain.
Am I right if I assume that the first function virConnectNumOfDefinedDomains
returns me all defined, but necessarily not running domains, and the second
one only running and therefore active domains?
I looked at this and I think you're right - it's a documentation error. I will ask Dan Berrange about this when he wakes up (he wrote that bit).

Yes, that's docs error. virConnectNumOfDomains lists active guests while
virConnectNumOfDefinedDomains lists inactive guests. NB, there are not
100% guarenteed to be distinct sets, since obviously between the time of
calling one & calling the other a guest may have started / stopped, thus
moving from one list to the other. Mildly annoying, but not much we can do about it in practice since the underlying APIs can't always give us
the complet list of active & inactive guests atomically.

Documentation fixed in CVS.

Rich.
