Description of problem: Both 'send-key' and 'echo' command descriptions are in wrong place and should be moved to more appropriate sections in virsh man page. The changes are trivial and I made patches fixing this issue and there were merged into upstream already. * http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=1f24ddf6bfde0f0c24865f29e59ea017f6f8d6b6 * http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=b2c545bf8050d566b17da4f8263f7a76bdf21a2a These fixes looks also applicable to libvirt in RHEL 6.2. So could you please consider backporting these fixes? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.9.4-23.el6 How reproducible: man virsh
The fixes will be included in 6.3 by virtue of rebasing. But I'm not sure whether documentation-only patches are worth backporting via z-stream process to 6.2.z.
Documentation fixes are not appropriate for z-stream.
Verified the bug with libvirt-0.9.9-1.el6.x86_64 Check: 'echo' command description has been move into the generic commands section 'send-key' command description has been moved into the domain commands section # man virsh GENERIC COMMANDS The following commands are generic i.e. not specific to a domain. …… echo [--shell] [--xml] [arg...] Echo back each arg, separated by space. If --shell is specified, then the output will be single-quoted where needed, so that it is suitable for reuse in a shell context. If --xml is specified,then the output will be escaped for use in XML. DOMAIN COMMANDS The following commands manipulate domains directly, as stated previously most commands take domain-id as the first parameter. The domain-id can be specified as a short integer, a name or a full UUID. …… send-key domain-id [--codeset codeset] [--holdtime holdtime] keycode... Parse the keycode sequence as keystrokes to send to domain-id. Each keycode can either be a numeric value or a symbolic name from the corresponding codeset. If --holdtime is given, each keystroke will be held for that many milliseconds. The default codeset is linux, but use of the --codeset option allows other codesets to be chosen.
