Yes to the first part, but no the second. Comparing XMLs is not as easy as you would think. For instance: <domain id='1' type='kvm'> <uuid>123456</uuid> <name>myGuest</name> </domain> <domain type='kvm' id='1'> <name>myGuest</uuid> <uuid>123456</uuid> </domain> The former is just an example of possible user input, the latter is how libvirt would format it. Obviously, these XMLs are equivalent, but not stcmp() equal. Michal
