NAME

6       Sys::Virt::DomainSnapshot - Represent & manage a libvirt guest domain
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The "Sys::Virt::DomainSnapshot" module represents a guest domain
10       managed by the virtual machine monitor.
11

METHODS

13       my $str = $domss->get_name()
14           Return the name of the snapshot
15
16       my $xml = $domss->get_xml_description($flags)
17           Returns an XML document containing a complete description of the
18           domain's configuration.
19
20       $domss->delete($flags)
21           Deletes this snapshot object & its data. The optional $flags
22           parameter controls what should be deleted via the
23           "Sys::Virt::DomainSnapshot::DELETE_*" constants.
24
25       $domss->revert_to($flags)
26           Revert the domain to the state associated with this snapshot. The
27           optional $flags control the state of the vm after the revert via
28           the "Sys::Virt::DomainSnapshot::REVERT_*" constants.
29
30       $parentss = $domss->get_parent();
31           Return the parent of the snapshot, if any
32
33       $res = $domss->is_current()
34           Returns a true value if this is the current snapshot. False
35           otherwise.
36
37       $res = $domss->has_metadata()
38           Returns a true value if this snapshot has metadata associated with
39           it.
40
41       $count = $domss->num_of_child_snapshots()
42           Return the number of saved snapshots which are children of this
43           snapshot
44
45       @names = $domss->list_child_snapshot_names()
46           List the names of all saved snapshots which are children of this
47           snapshot . The names can be used with the "lookup_snapshot_by_name"
48
49       @snapshots = $domss->list_child_snapshots()
50           Return a list of all snapshots that are children of this snapshot.
51           The elements in the returned list are instances of the
52           Sys::Virt::DomainSnapshot class.  This method requires O(n) RPC
53           calls, so the "list_all_children" method is recommended as a more
54           efficient alternative.
55
56       my @snapshots = $domss->list_all_children($flags)
57           Return a list of all domain snapshots that are children of this
58           snapshot. The elements in the returned list are instances of the
59           Sys::Virt::DomainSnapshot class. The $flags parameter can be used
60           to filter the list of return domain snapshots.
