NAME

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint - Represent & manage a libvirt guest domain checkpoint

DESCRIPTION

       The "Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint" module represents a guest domain checkpoint managed by the virtual
       machine monitor.

METHODS

       my $str = $domchkp->get_name()
           Return the name of the checkpoint

       my $xml = $domchkp->get_xml_description($flags)
           Returns  an  XML document containing a complete description of the domain checkpoints' configuration.
           The $flags parameter accepts the following constants

           Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::XML_SECURE
               Include security sensitive information in the XML dump, such as passwords.

           Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::XML_SIZE
               Include dynamic per-<disk> size information

           Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::XML_NO_DOMAIN
               Suppress <domain> sub-element

       $domchkp->delete($flags)
           Deletes this checkpoint object & its data. The optional $flags  parameter  controls  what  should  be
           deleted via the "Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::DELETE_*" constants.

       $parentchkp = $domchkp->get_parent();
           Return the parent of the checkpoint, if any

       my @checkpoints = $domchkp->list_all_children($flags)
           Return  a  list  of  all domain checkpoints that are children of this checkpoint. The elements in the
           returned list are instances of the Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint class. The  $flags  parameter  can  be
           used to filter the list of return domain checkpoints.

CONSTANTS

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::CREATE_QUIESCE
           Quiesce the guest disks while taking the checkpoint

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::CREATE_REDEFINE_VALIDATE
           Validate disk data state

   CHECKPOINT DELETION
       The following constants are useful when deleting checkpoints

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::DELETE_CHILDREN
           Recursively delete any child checkpoints

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::DELETE_CHILDREN_ONLY
           Only delete the child checkpoints

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::DELETE_METADATA_ONLY
           Only delete the checkpoint metadata

   CHECKPOINT LIST
       The following constants are useful when listing checkpoints

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::LIST_ROOTS
           Only list checkpoints which are root nodes in the tree

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::LIST_DESCENDANTS
           Only list checkpoints which are descendants of the current checkpoint

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::LIST_LEAVES
           Only list leaf nodes in the checkpoint tree

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::LIST_NO_LEAVES
           Only list non-leaf nodes in the checkpoint tree

       Sys::Virt::DomainCheckpoint::LIST_TOPOLOGICAL
           Sort list in topological order w.r.t. to parent/child relationships.
