Hi, I am wondering if the --print-xml option is working correctly. The output for two snapshot-create commands are the same, even though the first one includes additional options (no-metadata and atomic).
--no-metadata and --atomic merely pass additional flags to the API call; they do not affect the XML. Remember, it is the combination of both the XML and the API flags that control what the API will do.
I want to use the generated XML to create a snapshot via a perl script, and Sys::Virt only seems to support snapshots using a XML description of the arguments.
Yes, the perl bindings don't have the convenience wrappers like virsh, so you'll need the XML; but the perl bindings DO let you also pass in flags for the case where virsh has bool options for setting a flag.
