I think you underappreciate libvirt here. The qemu command line interface is really quite ugly and awkward to use. You might imagine that, in wrapping it, libvirt might fail to make it worse. But they actually succeeded!
(To be fair, if you're stuck for ideas for making something nastier, wrapping it in XML isn't a crazy starting point.)
- asguy 6y agoqemu has its own (often unnoticed) config file format `-readconfig fname`. I use it instead of the command line when things are getting out of hand.
- rwmj 6y ago-readconfig is incomplete. You cannot express all features (and even several common features) through the config file. Also the config file field names are sometimes different from the corresponding command line names. It's considered an appendix by the upstream developers so don't be surprised if it disappears one day.
