I've also got the (post-0.8.7) idea of teaching virsh how to do unambiguous prefix recognition; and it wouldn't be too hard to tweak it to recognize that if a prefix is ambiguous but all commands that share that prefix belong to a single category, then treat it as 'help category' instead. -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
