[PATCH] virt-xml-validate: Allow input to be read from stdin

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



---

Hello,

I often find myself wanting to validate a domain xml without having
to save it to a file, so I've updated virt-xml-validate to support
the standard practice of reading from stdin when "-" is given as the
input file.
Of course, the validation is multipass so there still needs to be a
temporary file but I think it makes sense to hide this complexity in
virt-xml-validate and not force it onto the user.
