[PATCH] virsh: Add --name and --description options to snapshot-create

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

 



This options are shortcuts to set name and description of a snapshot.

Suggested by Elias Probst

I'm not sure if this is be best approach. In case of the vol-* commands there
is vol-create that takes and XML file and vol-create-as that takes a set of
arguments.

So, should there actually be a snapshot-create-as to takes --name and
--description options?
