[PATCH] docs: Add notes for VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_NO_METADATA

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When listing snapshot with VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_NO_METADATA, it
always returns 0 or no snapshot. Because we never implement funtions
to list no-metadata snapshot in virDomainSnapshotObjListGetNames():

    if ((data.flags & VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_FILTERS_METADATA) ==
        VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LIST_NO_METADATA)
        return 0;

Add notes for that flag.

Please update the comment and man page of that flag when no-metadata
snapshot list is implemented in the future.
