[PATCH virt-manager 13/14] virt-xml: Add support for starting the domain

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

 



Add support for starting the domain. By default, first the domain is
defined and then started. If the `--start` is used in combination with
`--no-define` a transient domain is created without persisting the
changes in the persistent domain definition.
