libvirt users - Sep 2020 - Re: printing the qemu final execution line from an xml

Greetings,

I have a qemu line which I want to convert ot libvirt xml but as
domxml-from-native is deprecated, I want to try it the other way around.
e.g. write an libvirt xml and dump the final qemu line without running it.
is there a way to do so?

Thanks,

Dagg.

Sure, there is domxml-to-native. It accepts either an existing domain or 
path to XML file, for instance:

virsh domxml-to-native --domain fedora --format qemu-argv
