[PATCH] Allow overriding default URI in config file

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

 



From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently if the URI passed to virConnectOpen* is NULL, then we

 - Look for LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI env var
 - Probe for drivers

This changes it so that

 - Look for LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI env var
 - Look for 'uri_default' in $HOME/.libvirt/libvirt.conf
 - Probe for drivers
