Tue Aug 27 20:35:56 UTC 2019
It appears that all commands were originally fully in alphabetical order
but as new commands were added, they were sometimes inserted out of
order. Fix up all domain commands so that they're in alphabetical order
again.

NOTE: if this patch is too invasive, feel free to drop it. Also, the default
diff detects too many spurious changes rather than just showing moved blocks of
text. I passed the '--minimal' option to diff to try to make the patch a bit
more readable.

+Older versions of virsh only accepted these options with underscore

+
+Bytes and iops values are independent, but setting only one value (such
+as --read-bytes-sec) resets the other two in that category to unlimited.
+An explicit 0 also clears any limit. A non-zero value for a given total
+cannot be mixed with non-zero values for read or write.
+
+It is up to the hypervisor to determine how to handle the length values.
+For the qemu hypervisor, if an I/O limit value or maximum value is set,
+then the default value of 1 second will be displayed. Supplying a 0 will
+reset the value back to the default.

+
+Reduce the length of a backing image chain, by committing changes at the
+top of the chain (snapshot or delta files) into backing images. By
+default, this command attempts to flatten the entire chain. If I<base>
+and/or I<top> are specified as files within the backing chain, then the
+operation is constrained to committing just that portion of the chain;
+I<--shallow> can be used instead of I<base> to specify the immediate
+backing file of the resulting top image to be committed. The files
+being committed are rendered invalid, possibly as soon as the operation
+starts; using the I<--delete> flag will attempt to remove these invalidated
+files at the successful completion of the commit operation. When the
+I<--keep-relative> flag is used, the backing file paths will be kept relative.
+
+When I<top> is omitted or specified as the active image, it is also
+possible to specify I<--active> to trigger a two-phase active commit. In
+the first phase, I<top> is copied into I<base> and the job can only be
+canceled, with top still containing data not yet in base. In the second
+phase, I<top> and I<base> remain identical until a call to B<blockjob>
+with the I<--abort> flag (keeping top as the active image that tracks
+changes from that point in time) or the I<--pivot> flag (making base
+the new active image and invalidating top).
+
+By default, this command returns as soon as possible, and data for
+the entire disk is committed in the background; the progress of the
+operation can be checked with B<blockjob>. However, if I<--wait> is
+specified, then this command will block until the operation completes
+(or for I<--active>, enters the second phase), or until the operation
+is canceled because the optional I<timeout> in seconds elapses
+or SIGINT is sent (usually with C<Ctrl-C>). Using I<--verbose> along
+with I<--wait> will produce periodic status updates. If job cancellation
+is triggered, I<--async> will return control to the user as fast as
+possible, otherwise the command may continue to block a little while
+longer until the job is done cleaning up. Using I<--pivot> is shorthand
+for combining I<--active> I<--wait> with an automatic B<blockjob>
+I<--pivot>; and using I<--keep-overlay> is shorthand for combining
+I<--active> I<--wait> with an automatic B<blockjob> I<--abort>.
+
+I<path> specifies fully-qualified path of the disk; it corresponds
+to a unique target name (<target dev='name'/>) or source file (<source
+file='name'/>) for one of the disk devices attached to I<domain> (see
+also B<domblklist> for listing these names).
+I<bandwidth> specifies copying bandwidth limit in MiB/s, although for
+qemu, it may be non-zero only for an online domain. For further information
+on the I<bandwidth> argument see the corresponding section for the B<blockjob>
+command.

+=item B<blockcopy> I<domain> I<path> { I<dest> [I<format>] [I<--blockdev>]
+| I<--xml> B<file> } [I<--shallow>] [I<--reuse-external>] [I<bandwidth>]
+[I<--wait> [I<--async>] [I<--verbose>]] [{I<--pivot> | I<--finish>}]
+[I<--timeout> B<seconds>] [I<granularity>] [I<buf-size>] [I<--bytes>]
+[I<--transient-job>]
+
+Copy a disk backing image chain to a destination. Either I<dest> as
+the destination file name, or I<--xml> with the name of an XML file containing
+a top-level <disk> element describing the destination, must be present.
+Additionally, if I<dest> is given, I<format> should be specified to declare
+the format of the destination (if I<format> is omitted, then libvirt
+will reuse the format of the source, or with I<--reuse-external> will
+be forced to probe the destination format, which could be a potential
+security hole). The command supports I<--raw> as a boolean flag synonym for
+I<--format=raw>. When using I<dest>, the destination is treated as a regular
+file unless I<--blockdev> is used to signal that it is a block device. By
+default, this command flattens the entire chain; but if I<--shallow> is
+specified, the copy shares the backing chain.
+
+If I<--reuse-external> is specified, then the destination must exist and have
+sufficient space to hold the copy. If I<--shallow> is used in
+conjunction with I<--reuse-external> then the pre-created image must have
+guest visible contents identical to guest visible contents of the backing
+file of the original image. This may be used to modify the backing file
+names on the destination.
+
+By default, the copy job runs in the background, and consists of two
+phases. Initially, the job must copy all data from the source, and
+during this phase, the job can only be canceled to revert back to the
+source disk, with no guarantees about the destination. After this phase
+completes, both the source and the destination remain mirrored until a
+call to B<blockjob> with the I<--abort> and I<--pivot> flags pivots over
+to the copy, or a call without I<--pivot> leaves the destination as a
+faithful copy of that point in time. However, if I<--wait> is specified,
+then this command will block until the mirroring phase begins, or cancel
+the operation if the optional I<timeout> in seconds elapses or SIGINT is
+sent (usually with C<Ctrl-C>). Using I<--verbose> along with I<--wait>
+will produce periodic status updates. Using I<--pivot> (similar to
+B<blockjob> I<--pivot>) or I<--finish> (similar to B<blockjob> I<--abort>)
+implies I<--wait>, and will additionally end the job cleanly rather than
+leaving things in the mirroring phase. If job cancellation is triggered
+by timeout or by I<--finish>, I<--async> will return control to the user
+as fast as possible, otherwise the command may continue to block a little
+while longer until the job has actually cancelled.
+
+I<path> specifies fully-qualified path of the disk.
+I<bandwidth> specifies copying bandwidth limit in MiB/s. Specifying a negative
+value is interpreted as an unsigned long long value that might be essentially
+unlimited, but more likely would overflow; it is safer to use 0 for that
+purpose. For further information on the I<bandwidth> argument see the
+corresponding section for the B<blockjob> command.
+Specifying I<granularity> allows fine-tuning of the granularity that will be
+copied when a dirty region is detected; larger values trigger less
+I/O overhead but may end up copying more data overall (the default value is
+usually correct); hypervisors may restrict this to be a power of two or fall
+within a certain range. Specifying I<buf-size> will control how much data can
+be simultaneously in-flight during the copy; larger values use more memory but
+may allow faster completion (the default value is usually correct).
+
+I<--transient-job> allows specifying that the user does not require the job to
+be recovered if the VM crashes or is turned off before the job completes. This
+flag removes the restriction of copy jobs to transient domains if that
+restriction is applied by the hypervisor.

+=item B<blockjob> I<domain> I<path> { [I<--abort>] [I<--async>] [I<--pivot>] |
+[I<--info>] [I<--raw>] [I<--bytes>] | [I<bandwidth>] }
+
+Manage active block operations. There are three mutually-exclusive modes:
+I<--info>, I<bandwidth>, and I<--abort>. I<--async> and I<--pivot> imply
+abort mode; I<--raw> implies info mode; and if no mode was given, I<--info>
+mode is assumed.
+
+I<path> specifies fully-qualified path of the disk; it corresponds
+to a unique target name (<target dev='name'/>) or source file (<source
+file='name'/>) for one of the disk devices attached to I<domain> (see
+also B<domblklist> for listing these names).
+
+In I<--abort> mode, the active job on the specified disk will
+be aborted. If I<--async> is also specified, this command will return
+immediately, rather than waiting for the cancellation to complete. If
+I<--pivot> is specified, this requests that an active copy or active
+commit job be pivoted over to the new image.
+
+In I<--info> mode, the active job information on the specified
+disk will be printed. By default, the output is a single human-readable
+summary line; this format may change in future versions. Adding
+I<--raw> lists each field of the struct, in a stable format. If the
+I<--bytes> flag is set, then the command errors out if the server could
+not supply bytes/s resolution; when omitting the flag, raw output is
+listed in MiB/s and human-readable output automatically selects the
+best resolution supported by the server.
+
+I<bandwidth> can be used to set bandwidth limit for the active job in MiB/s.
+If I<--bytes> is specified then the bandwidth value is interpreted in
+bytes/s. Specifying a negative value is interpreted as an unsigned long
+value or essentially unlimited. The hypervisor can choose whether to
+reject the value or convert it to the maximum value allowed. Optionally a
+scaled positive number may be used as bandwidth (see B<NOTES> above). Using
+I<--bytes> with a scaled value permits a finer granularity to be selected.
+A scaled value used without I<--bytes> will be rounded down to MiB/s. Note
+that the I<--bytes> may be unsupported by the hypervisor.

+[I<--wait> [I<--verbose>] [I<--timeout> B<seconds>] [I<--async>]]
+[I<--keep-relative>]
+
+Populate a disk from its backing image chain. By default, this command
+flattens the entire chain; but if I<base> is specified, containing the
+name of one of the backing files in the chain, then that file becomes
+the new backing file and only the intermediate portion of the chain is
+pulled. Once all requested data from the backing image chain has been
+pulled, the disk no longer depends on that portion of the backing chain.
+
+By default, this command returns as soon as possible, and data for
+the entire disk is pulled in the background; the progress of the
+operation can be checked with B<blockjob>. However, if I<--wait> is
+specified, then this command will block until the operation completes,
+or cancel the operation if the optional I<timeout> in seconds elapses
+or SIGINT is sent (usually with C<Ctrl-C>). Using I<--verbose> along
+with I<--wait> will produce periodic status updates. If job cancellation
+is triggered, I<--async> will return control to the user as fast as
+possible, otherwise the command may continue to block a little while
+longer until the job is done cleaning up.
+
+Using the I<--keep-relative> flag will keep the backing chain names
+relative.
+
+I<path> specifies fully-qualified path of the disk; it corresponds
+to a unique target name (<target dev='name'/>) or source file (<source
+file='name'/>) for one of the disk devices attached to I<domain> (see
+also B<domblklist> for listing these names).

-starts; using the I<--delete> flag will attempt to remove these invalidated
-files at the successful completion of the commit operation. When the

-
-When I<top> is omitted or specified as the active image, it is also

-Copy a disk backing image chain to a destination. Either I<dest> as
-the destination file name, or I<--xml> with the name of an XML file containing
-a top-level <disk> element describing the destination, must be present.
-Additionally, if I<dest> is given, I<format> should be specified to declare
-the format of the destination (if I<format> is omitted, then libvirt
-will reuse the format of the source, or with I<--reuse-external> will
-be forced to probe the destination format, which could be a potential
-security hole). The command supports I<--raw> as a boolean flag synonym for
-I<--format=raw>. When using I<dest>, the destination is treated as a regular
-file unless I<--blockdev> is used to signal that it is a block device. By
-default, this command flattens the entire chain; but if I<--shallow> is
-specified, the copy shares the backing chain.
-
-If I<--reuse-external> is specified, then the destination must exist and have
-sufficient space to hold the copy. If I<--shallow> is used in
-conjunction with I<--reuse-external> then the pre-created image must have
-guest visible contents identical to guest visible contents of the backing
-file of the original image. This may be used to modify the backing file
-names on the destination.
-
-By default, the copy job runs in the background, and consists of two
-phases. Initially, the job must copy all data from the source, and
-during this phase, the job can only be canceled to revert back to the
-source disk, with no guarantees about the destination. After this phase
-completes, both the source and the destination remain mirrored until a
-call to B<blockjob> with the I<--abort> and I<--pivot> flags pivots over
-to the copy, or a call without I<--pivot> leaves the destination as a
-faithful copy of that point in time. However, if I<--wait> is specified,
-then this command will block until the mirroring phase begins, or cancel
-the operation if the optional I<timeout> in seconds elapses or SIGINT is
-sent (usually with C<Ctrl-C>). Using I<--verbose> along with I<--wait>
-will produce periodic status updates. Using I<--pivot> (similar to
-B<blockjob> I<--pivot>) or I<--finish> (similar to B<blockjob> I<--abort>)
-implies I<--wait>, and will additionally end the job cleanly rather than
-leaving things in the mirroring phase. If job cancellation is triggered
-by timeout or by I<--finish>, I<--async> will return control to the user
-as fast as possible, otherwise the command may continue to block a little
-while longer until the job has actually cancelled.
-
-I<path> specifies fully-qualified path of the disk.
-I<bandwidth> specifies copying bandwidth limit in MiB/s. Specifying a negative
-value is interpreted as an unsigned long long value that might be essentially
-unlimited, but more likely would overflow; it is safer to use 0 for that
-purpose. For further information on the I<bandwidth> argument see the
-corresponding section for the B<blockjob> command.
-Specifying I<granularity> allows fine-tuning of the granularity that will be
-copied when a dirty region is detected; larger values trigger less
-I/O overhead but may end up copying more data overall (the default value is
-usually correct); hypervisors may restrict this to be a power of two or fall
-within a certain range. Specifying I<buf-size> will control how much data can
-be simultaneously in-flight during the copy; larger values use more memory but
-may allow faster completion (the default value is usually correct).
-
-I<--transient-job> allows specifying that the user does not require the job to
-be recovered if the VM crashes or is turned off before the job completes. This

-
-In I<--abort> mode, the active job on the specified disk will
-be aborted. If I<--async> is also specified, this command will return
-immediately, rather than waiting for the cancellation to complete. If
-I<--pivot> is specified, this requests that an active copy or active

-
-In I<--info> mode, the active job information on the specified

-
-I<bandwidth> can be used to set bandwidth limit for the active job in MiB/s.

+I<size> is a scaled integer (see B<NOTES> above); it defaults to kibibytes
+(blocks of 1024 bytes) unless you provide a suffix (and the older option
+name I<--kilobytes> is available as a deprecated synonym) . Libvirt rounds
+up to the nearest kibibyte. Some hypervisors require a larger granularity
+than KiB, and requests that are not an even multiple will be rounded up.
+For example, vSphere/ESX rounds the parameter up to mebibytes (1024 kibibytes).
