The API is just SetThreshold, but it has a flags argument so that we could feasibly set more than one threshold by the use of flags. Then again, if we ever do add such a flag, all we have to make sure of is that names are unique at that point (we can't break any existing names, but it should be too hard to come up with new names that don't clash, whether or not the original name is short). I'm leaning 60-40 towards the shorter name, but I'll leave it up to you or anyone else that wants to chime in. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
