Hi. All. I rewrote the patched. But I modified the feature for the situation @result pointer is NULL. Though before it does not forcely wait, I think it is not meanless because @result pointer is always NULL. And @timeout must be following VIR_DOMAIN_QEMU_AGENT_COMMAND_BLOCK(-2) : does not block and wait forever. VIR_DOMAIN_QEMU_AGENT_COMMAND_DEFAULT(-1) : use default time for waiting VIR_DOMAIN_QEMU_AGENT_COMMAND_NOWIAT(0) : does not wait and out soon positive value : wait for pointed seconds. In addition, I added the some options for virsh command qemu-agent-command --block : it means taht @timeout is VIR_DOMAIN_QEMU_AGENT_COMMAND_BLOCK. --async : it means taht @timeout is VIR_DOMAIN_QEMU_AGENT_COMMAND_NOWIAT. --timeout @seconds : @seconds must be positive value and it means that @timeout is positive value case. These upper options are exclusive. If no options are given, it means taht @timeout is IR_DOMAIN_QEMU_AGENT_COMMAND_DEFAULT. virsh # help qemu-agent-command NAME qemu-agent-command - QEMU Guest Agent Command SYNOPSIS qemu-agent-command <domain> [--timeout <number>] [--async] [--block] {[--cmd] <string>}...
