The virsh manpage lists "shutdown" and "dying" as two of the possible domain states that could be listed in the output of the "virsh list" command. However, a domain that is being shutdown will be listed as "in shutdown", and the "dying" state doesn't even exist (and never has, as far as I can tell from looking through git history - it was shown in the original import of the virsh.pod file in 2006; there was no VIR_DOMAIN_DYING state then, there wasn't one when those lines of virsh.pod were tweaked in 2008, and there still isn't one today. Apparently it was just something that sounded like a good idea to someone at some time, but was never implemented...)
