Found it: http://libvirt.org/guide/html-single/#Application_Development_Guide-Guest_Domains-Lifecycle That diagram completely lacks transient domains. It also shows persistent/running to persistent/inactive via Shutdown, while I mentioned Destroy (both APIs work for that transition, although Shutdown requires guest response).
