Modulo the obvious race condition where a guest starts/stops in between the time you call those two functions :-) One of these days I'll have time to add an API I've long wanted - one that lists all domains, and returns the virDomainPtr objects directly virConnectListAllDomains(virConnectPtr conn, virDomainPtr *domains, int *ndomains); where libvirt allocates 'domains' to be the right size, not requiring the caller todo so. Similarly this same API pattern for all other objects virNetworkPtr, virStoragePoolPtr, etc, etc Regards, Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :| -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
