[libvirt] [PATCH v4] virsh: add [--domain DOMAIN] option to domxml-to-native DOMAIN COMMAND

[Julio Faracco]

My apologies. I didn't read the function logic.
The second error was introduced by my "fix".
The error with help parameter is happening.

If --domain is required, I believe that moving to STRING
is enough. As I said, VSH_OT_DATA requires
VSH_OFLAG_REQ. See vsh.c line 746.

     {.name = "domain",
-     .type = VSH_OT_DATA,
+     .type = VSH_OT_STRING,
      .flags = VSH_OFLAG_REQ_OPT,
      .help = N_("domain name, id or uuid")
     },
     {.name = "xml",
-     .type = VSH_OT_DATA,
+     .type = VSH_OT_STRING,
      .help = N_("xml data file to export from")
