RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.# virsh -h |grep metadata
    metadata                       show or set domain's custom XML metadata

2.# virsh metadata --help
  NAME
    metadata - show or set domain's custom XML metadata

  SYNOPSIS
    metadata <domain> [--live] [--config] [--current] [--edit] <uri> [<key>] [<set>] [--remove]

  DESCRIPTION
    Shows or modifies the XML metadata of a domain.

  OPTIONS
    [--domain] <string>  domain name, id or uuid
    --live           modify/get running state
    --config         modify/get persistent configuration
    --current        modify/get current state configuration
    --edit           use an editor to change the metadata
    [--uri] <string>  URI of the namespace
    [--key] <string>  key to be used as a namespace identifier
    [--set] <string>  new metadata to set
    --remove         remove the metadata corresponding to an uri



3.search in manual of virsh
# man virsh

 

Actual results:
Can't find help for metadata command



Expected results:
Add some manual for metadata in virsh manual

[root@rhel7-a1 ~]# virsh metadata --help
  NAME
    metadata - show or set domain's custom XML metadata

  SYNOPSIS
    metadata <domain> [--live] [--config] [--current] [--edit] <uri> [<key>] [<set>] [--remove]

  DESCRIPTION
    Shows or modifies the XML metadata of a domain.

  OPTIONS
    [--domain] <string>  domain name, id or uuid
    --live           modify/get running state
    --config         modify/get persistent configuration
    --current        modify/get current state configuration
    --edit           use an editor to change the metadata
    [--uri] <string>  URI of the namespace
    [--key] <string>  key to be used as a namespace identifier
    [--set] <string>  new metadata to set
    --remove         remove the metadata corresponding to an uri


[root@rhel7-a1 ~]#man virsh
metadata domain [[--live] [--config] | [--current]] [--edit] [uri] [key] [set] [--remove]
           Show or modify custom XML metadata of a domain. The metadata is a user defined XML that allows to store arbitrary XML data in the domain definition.  Multiple separate custom metadata pieces can be stored in the domain
           XML.  The pieces are identified by a private XML namespace provided via the uri argument. (See also desc that works with textual metadata of a domain.)

           Flags --live or --config select whether this command works on live or persistent definitions of the domain. If both --live and --config are specified, the --config option takes precedence on getting the current
           description and both live configuration and config are updated while setting the description. --current is exclusive and implied if none of these was specified.

           Flag --remove specifies that the metadata element specified by the uri argument should be removed rather than updated.

           Flag --edit specifies that an editor with the metadata identified by the uri argument should be opened and the contents saved back afterwards.  Otherwise the new contents can be provided via the set argument.

           When setting metadata via --edit or set the key argument must be specified and is used to prefix the custom elements to bind them to the private namespace.

           If neither of --edit and set are specified the XML metadata corresponding to the uri namespace is displayed instead of being modified.
