[PATCH 1/4] xml: Add attribute to <description> element to hold a short note

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

 



This patch adds an optional attribute note=""  to the <description>
element in the domain XML. This attribute can hold a short note defined
by the user to ease the identification of domains. The note is limited
to 40 characters.

 *docs/formatdomain.html.in
 *docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng
        - add schema grammar for the new element and documentation

  *src/conf/domain_conf.c
  *src/conf/domain_conf.h
        - add field to hold the new attribute
        - add code to parse and create XML with the new attribute
