I want to have a flexible and extensible API function for all states that provide any additional information. The crashed/panicked state just happens to be the only one that does currently... We discussed the API in v1 here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2018-July/msg00690.html > Why not just have virDomainGetPanicInfo() and "virsh dompanicinfo" Do we want to later add an additional public API function per state that implements any additional information? > Regards, > Daniel > -- > |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| > |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| > |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :| >
