VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG implies that an argument cannot possibly be correct, given the current state of the API. VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED implies that a configuration is wrong, but arguments aren't configuration. VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT implies that a function is completely unimplemented. But in the case of a function that is partially implemented, yet the full power of the API is not available for that driver, none of the above messages make sense. Hence a new error message, implying that the argument is known to comply with the current state of the API, and that while the driver supports aspects of the function, it does not support that particular use of the argument. A good use case for this is a driver that supports virDomainSaveFlags, but not the dxml argument of that API. It might be feasible to also use this new error for all functions that check flags, and which accept fewer flags than what is possible in the public API. But doing so would get complicated, since neither libvirt.c nor the remote driver may do flag filtering, and every other driver would have to do a two-part check, first using virCheckFlags on all public flags (which gives VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG for an impossible flag), followed by a particular mask check for VIR_ERR_ARGUMENT_UNSUPPORTED (for a possible public flag but unsupported by this driver). * include/libvirt/virterror.h (VIR_ERR_ARGUMENT_UNSUPPORTED): New error. * src/util/virterror.c (virErrorMsg): Give it a message.

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.
