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 Satoru SATOH 2011-12-26 18:51:51 UTC 
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.

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
Comment 2 Eric Blake 2011-12-28 13:49:19 UTC 
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.
Comment 3 Dave Allan 2012-01-04 03:23:06 UTC 
Documentation fixes are not appropriate for z-stream.
Comment 5 tingting zheng 2012-01-10 03:33:07 UTC 
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.
