Hi Dan, Have you tested the --xml argument as VSH_OT_ARGV? {.name = "domain", - .type = VSH_OT_DATA, + .type = VSH_OT_STRING, .flags = VSH_OFLAG_REQ_OPT, .help = N_("domain name, id or uuid") }, {.name = "xml", - .type = VSH_OT_DATA, + .type = VSH_OT_ARGV, .help = N_("xml data file to export from") Check the command 'domfsthaw', option 'mountpoint'. This is the best approach that I got until now. 2017-06-26 17:21 GMT-03:00 Dan <srwx4096@xxxxxxxxx>: > On Sun, Jun 25, 2017 at 08:33:39AM -0400, John Ferlan wrote: >> >> >> On 06/24/2017 08:05 PM, Julio Faracco wrote: >> > My apologies.
