Sorry, I meant: since the 4 get APIs could be used by upper layer management, other APIs like prepareHostdevs and reattachHostdevs are only used internally, should we place them separately, like in separate header files? or trace them no difference? > But you can take the existing APIs like > virNodeSetMemoryParameters as examples.
