So under the hood it's easier to implement with three functions. But
still, from the user's point of view (including remote rpcs), why not
have just one function with flags?
static int virCgroupKillOne(...)
{
...
}
static int virCgroupKillRecursive(...)
{
loop on virCgroupKillOne()
}
static int virCgroupKillPainful(...)
{
loop on virCgroupKillRecursive()
}
extern int virCgroupKill(..., flags)
{
switch (flags)
{
case 0: virCgroupKillOne(); break;
case KILL_RECURSIVE: virCgroupKillRecursive(); break;
case KILL_PAINFUL: virCgroupKillPainful(); break;
}
}
