[libvirt] [PATCH v7 2/4] Add vbox_snapshot_conf struct

Yohan BELLEGUIC yohan.belleguic at diateam.net
Fri Apr 18 09:51:32 UTC 2014


This structure contains the data to be saved in the VirtualBox XML file
and can be manipulated with severals exposed functions.
The structure is created by vboxSnapshotLoadVboxFile taking the
machine XML file.
It also can rewrite the XML by using vboxSnapshotSaveVboxFile.
