libvirt users - Aug 2015 - from command line to xml file

Hi,

In order to use a virtio-serial to exchange data between host and its guests,
I'd like to modify  the .xml Guest conf file by adding  these parameters (
as found in the command line) :

-device virtio-serial \
-chardev socket,path=/tmp/foo,server,nowait,id=foo \
-device virtserialport,chardev=foo,name=org.fedoraproject.port.0

How should I  build the XML tags ?


Thx for help.

Take a read of this:

  http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsConsole

It should be approx

  <channel type="unix">
    <source mode='bind' path='/tmp/foo'/>
    <target type='virtio'
name='com.fedoraproject.port.0'/>
  </channel>


Regards,
Daniel
