[PATCH 1/8] save: document new public API

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

 



In order to choose whether to use O_DIRECT when saving a domain image
to a file, we need a new flag.  But virDomainSave was implemented
before our policy of all new APIs having a flag argument.

* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainSaveFlags): New prototype.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainSaveFlags): New API.
* src/libvirt_public.syms: Export it.
* src/driver.h (virDrvDomainSaveFlags): New driver callback.
