--details is still targetted at humans. If you want something more
easily parseable it should use a structured format like CSV. So I
don't think we should be overloading --details for this purpose.
It sounds like there would be good benefit to directly improving the
output of virsh for scripting.
As a thought for the right approach, maybe having command line options
affecting the output delimiters (field & record separators), suppress
headings, and using a "better approach" for errors?
Initial thinking is something like:
-D --data-only
data only (no header in output)
-F, --field-separator=STRING
set field separator (default: "|")
-R, --record-separator=STRING
set record separator (default: newline)
Unsure about error handling though. Any suggestions?
