Aside from that, it looks good. Possibly it could be tweaked a bit to make it usable in virNetlinkDumpLink() as well. Similarly another related cleanup is that all the callers to virNetlinkCommand() end up doing some version of virNetlinkGetErrorCode() - they could be merged. But all that (aside from renaming the function) is independent of this patch - ACK to this with a name change. -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
