libvirt users - Aug 2019 - Re: Libvirt API for attaching volume to domain

Hi,

I wanted to know if there is any Python API exposed for libvirt using which
I can attach a libvirt volume to a libvirt domain/VM.

I intend to do something similar to the `attach-disk` command of virsh
using python.

virsh uses the virDomainAttachDeviceFlags API in the 'attach-disk'
command wrapper. the python bindings expose it as 'attachDeviceFlags'
method of the virDomain class.

Thanks, this is exactly what I needed.

Is there some documentation where I can get how to exactly call this
function along with the arguments?
