--details is still targetted at humans. If you want something more easily parseable it should use a structured format like CSV. So I don't think we should be overloading --details for this purpose.
It sounds like there would be good benefit to directly improving the output of virsh for scripting.
As a thought for the right approach, maybe having command line options affecting the output delimiters (field & record separators), suppress headings, and using a "better approach" for errors?
Initial thinking is something like: -D --data-only data only (no header in output) -F, --field-separator=STRING set field separator (default: "|") -R, --record-separator=STRING set record separator (default: newline) Unsure about error handling though. Any suggestions?
