[libvirt] [PATCH] virsh: change output text words 'domain' and 'guest' to 'virtual machine'
Justin Clift

Sun Nov 7 10:41:04 UTC 2010
This changes all occurrences of the words 'domain' and 'guest' in virsh
output to 'virtual machine', plus some occurrences in comments, plus
updates the man page and 'make check' tests to match.
Some trivial typos and line lengths were fixed on the way through too.
---
Until now we use the words 'virtual machine', 'guest' and 'domain' interchangeably
in our discussions and documentation. 'virtual machine' seems to be the most
common (and the standard term in our industry), whereas 'guest' is less common,
and 'domain' seems to be a implementation legacy from Xen. Using 'virtual machine'
here is easier on newbies, gives us a (useful) shorter abbreviation of 'vm', and
brings us more into line with industry standards.
Ideally we'd also adjust command names having a 'dom' component or commands with a
'--domain' keyword, by adding a similar 'vm' one and matching '--vm' or similar
keywords, then deprecating the previous usage. But, it's not that important for
now given we explicitly have help text and lots of context around each.
