=head1 NAME

Sys::Virt::DomainSnapshot - Represent & manage a libvirt guest domain

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The C<Sys::Virt::DomainSnapshot> module represents a guest domain managed
by the virtual machine monitor.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

package Sys::Virt::DomainSnapshot;

use strict;
use warnings;


sub _new {
    my $proto = shift;
    my $class = ref($proto) || $proto;
    my %params = @_;

    my $dom = exists $params{domain} ? $params{domain} : die "domain parameter is required";
    my $self;
    if (exists $params{name}) {
	$self = Sys::Virt::DomainSnapshot::_lookup_by_name($dom,  $params{name});
    } elsif (exists $params{xml}) {
	$self = Sys::Virt::DomainSnapshot::_create_xml($dom,  $params{xml}, $params{flags} ? $params{flags} : 0);
    } else {
	die "name or xml parameters are required";
    }

    bless $self, $class;

    return $self;
}

=item my $str = $domss->get_name()

Return the name of the snapshot

=item my $xml = $domss->get_xml_description($flags)

Returns an XML document containing a complete description of
the domain's configuration.

=item $domss->delete($flags)

Deletes this snapshot object & its data. The optional C<$flags> parameter controls
what should be deleted via the C<Sys::Virt::DomainSnapshot::DELETE_*>
constants.

=item $domss->revert_to($flags)

Revert the domain to the state associated with this snapshot. The optional
C<$flags> control the state of the vm after the revert via the
C<Sys::Virt::DomainSnapshot::REVERT_*> constants.

=item $parentss = $domss->get_parent();

Return the parent of the snapshot, if any

=item $res = $domss->is_current()

Returns a true value if this is the current snapshot. False otherwise.

=item $res = $domss->has_metadata()

Returns a true value if this snapshot has metadata associated with
it.

=item $count = $domss->num_of_child_snapshots()

Return the number of saved snapshots which are children of this snapshot

=item @names = $domss->list_child_snapshot_names()

List the names of all saved snapshots which are children of this
snapshot . The names can be used with the C<lookup_snapshot_by_name>

=item @snapshots = $domss->list_child_snapshots()

Return a list of all snapshots that are children of this snapshot. The elements
in the returned list are instances of the L<Sys::Virt::DomainSnapshot> class.
This method requires O(n) RPC calls, so the C<list_all_children> method is
recommended as a more efficient alternative.

sub list_child_snapshots {
    my $self = shift;

    my $nnames = $self->num_of_child_snapshots();
    my @names = $self->list_child_snapshot_names($nnames);

	eval {
	    push @snapshots, Sys::Virt::DomainSnapshot->_new(domain => $self, name => $name);
	};
	if ($@) {
	    # nada - snapshot went away before we could look it up
	};
    }
    return @snapshots;
}

=item my @snapshots = $domss->list_all_children($flags)

Return a list of all domain snapshots that are children of this
snapshot. The elements in the returned list are instances of the
L<Sys::Virt::DomainSnapshot> class. The C<$flags> parameter can be
used to filter the list of return domain snapshots.
