A.8. Using the VDSM Hooking Module
VDSM ships with a Python hooking module, providing helper functions for VDSM hook scripts. This module is provided as an example, and is only relevant to VDSM hooks written in Python.
The hooking module supports reading of a virtual machine’s libvirt XML into a DOM object. Hook scripts can then use Python’s built-in xml.dom library to manipulate the object.
The modified object can then be saved back to libvirt XML using the hooking module. The hooking module provides the following functions to support hook development:
| Name | Argument | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
| string | Converts a string "true" or "false" to a Boolean value |
|
| - | Reads the virtual machine’s libvirt XML into a DOM object |
|
| DOM object | Writes the virtual machine’s libvirt XML from a DOM object |
