libvirt users - Aug 2013 - Re: QemuAgentCommand API documents

Hi,


I was going through the maillist[0] and found virDomainQemuAgentCommand()
support function added to python module. I also checked the API documentation
and didn't able to find any pointer for this particular function. Is API
documentation[1] not updated with these function details yet or I am looking to
a wrong place?

Another question is I am using libvirt-1.0.5.5-1.fc19.x86_64 and using virsh
with qemu-agent-command I am able to execute stuff from host. but I am not able
to find any API method to do that, any suggestions?

The API you're looking for is the one you've found:
virDomainQemuAgentCommand. As the second argument it accepts qemu guest
agent commands described in [3]. I'd also recommend reading [4].

Thanks for command reference, I am able to figure out that along with libvirt, 
libvirt_qemu also need to import because it will contain QmenuAgentCommand()
function
definition, but now I am confuse about the parameters. 

As per definition : def qemuAgentCommand(domain, cmd, timeout, flags), I passed
below parameteres:
domain : A active virDomain object
command : 'guest-info'
timeout : 10
flags : 0

But it's raise libvirt.libvirtError('virDomainQemuAgentCommand()
failed')

In function documentation it's not clearly mention about types of parameters
need to pass.

Any Idea/Suggestions?
