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.
Description of problem:
Missing flags parameter for get_xml_description in perl-Sys-Virt man page
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-Sys-Virt-0.9.4-2.el6
libvirt-0.9.4-16.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.195.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
everytimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install perl-Sys-Virt
# yum install perl-Sys-Virt
2. check usage for get_xml_description function
# man /usr/share/man/man3/Sys::Virt::Domain.3pm.gz|col -b|grep -2 get_xml_description
current live config.
my $xml = $dom->get_xml_description()
Returns an XML document containing a complete description of the
domain’s configuration
Actual results:
The description for get_xml_description is as follows:
my $xml = $dom->get_xml_description()
Returns an XML document containing a complete description of the
domain’s configuration
Expected results:
It should be as follows:
my $xml = $dom->get_xml_description($flags=0)
Additional info:
$dom->get_xml_description will call C API virDomainGetXMLDesc, which
contains a 'flags'
parameter, it looks like this:
virDomainGetXMLDesc(virDomainPtr domain, unsigned int flags)
@flags is an OR'ed set of virDomainXMLFlags, and it may be
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE,
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE or VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU.
So it need users can change flags value to meet different requirement.
Reproduce it with perl-Sys-Virt-0.9.4-2.el6
Verify it with perl-Sys-Virt-0.9.9-1.el6 and it passed. The steps are as follows:
# man /usr/share/man/man3/Sys::Virt::Domain.3pm.gz|col -b|grep -2 get_xml_description
current live config.
my $xml = $dom->get_xml_description($flags=0)
Returns an XML document containing a complete description of the
domain’s configuration. The optional $flags parameter controls
