Introduce use of a virDomainDefPtr in the domain coredump APIs to simplify introduction of ACL security checks. The virDomainPtr cannot be safely used, since the app may have supplied mis-matching name/uuid/id fields. eg the name points to domain X, while the uuid points to domain Y. Resolving the virDomainPtr to a virDomainDefPtr ensures a consistent name/uuid/id set. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
