So bandwidth indeed is a positional argument. Since all of the manpage

I think there's misunderstanding:

# virsh blockpull fedora vda vda[1]

We should really encourage users to properly quote their command line to avoid unintentional globbing:

# virsh blockpull fedora vda "vda[1]"

(Otherwise, if I 'touch vda1', the unquoted command will see the argument 'vda1')

error: Scaled numeric value 'vda[1]' for <--bandwidth> option is
malformed or out of range

# virsh blockpull fedora vda 1024 vda[1]
Block Pull started

I'll change to [bandwidth [--bytes] [base]]
