... libvirt can omit the optional parameters if they match the default
and just try executing the command. If it gets an error, it just
reports it.
That is, instead of
dictionary = json_object_new()
if (has_capability)
add argument to JSON dictionary
else if (argument != default)
return error
send JSON dictionary via QMP
do this
dictionary = json_object_new()
if (argument != default)
add argument to JSON dictionary
send JSON dictionary via QMP
