Yes, it is working! Finally I understand it.
When an --optionname is optional for a flag, VSH_OT_ARGV should be used.
Similarly another such case is schedinfo's --set flag. Yeah, I should be
more careful. Thank you very much.
Shall I send a new patch using your apprach?
Now domxml-to-native --help looks like:
NAME
domxml-to-native - Convert domain XML to native config
SYNOPSIS
domxml-to-native <format> [--domain <string>] [[--xml] <string>]...
DESCRIPTION
Convert domain XML config to a native guest configuration format.
OPTIONS
[--format] <string> target config data type format
--domain <string> domain name, id or uuid
[--xml] <string> xml data file to export from
Just for aesthetic reason, shall I switch the order of the last two
lines? (though I don't see a strong point to do this).
Thanks,
Dan
