Hi,
I've been investigating the virConnectDomainXMLToNative() format option
and I found out the virConnectDomainXMLToNative() calls the
conn->driver->domainXMLToNative() function and passes the format to the
driver function where the check whether format is valid or not is being
performed. Unfortunately I was unable to get the list of supported
format strings (like "qemu-argv"/"xen-xm"/"xen-sexpr" etc.) so I'd like
to ask whether there is some API to get all the formats supported by the
driver or not.
If not, wouldn't it be worth it to add some API like
virConnectGetDomainNativeFormats() or something to return the format
option for the connection?
I guess many people would be having issues with that and although it's
documented in the virsh man pages what if somebody will be using some
other application than virsh or you add some formatting option however
you forget to add it to the man page?
I think it's worth it to consider adding
conn->driver->domainNativeFormats() to the driver and placing it nearby
the conn->driver->domainXMLToNative() function in the driver (like right
above qemuDomainXMLToNative() etc.).
Or is there some API way to get the domain format strings that I'm not
aware of, i.e. that I didn't find by my investigation?
Thanks,
Michal
