Libvirt logs the result of query-command-line-options, including the human portion associated with the details. And libvirt also exposes the 'virsh qemu-monitor-command' backdoor which can be used by developers to get at the human-readable information in this query. I _have_ called query-command-line-options to see what it output, and did appreciate the human text available there. But you are correct that in the day-to-day operation of libvirtd, the human text is ignored - it's there mainly for developers. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
