NAME

       Sys::Virt::Network - Represent & manage a libvirt virtual network

DESCRIPTION

       The "Sys::Virt::Network" module represents a virtual network managed by the virtual machine monitor.

METHODS

       my $uuid = $net->get_uuid()
	   Returns a 16 byte long string containing the raw globally unique identifier (UUID) for the network.

       my $uuid = $net->get_uuid_string()
	   Returns a printable string representation of the raw UUID, in the format 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX'.

       my $name = $net->get_name()
	   Returns a string with a locally unique name of the network

       $net->is_active()
	   Returns a true value if the network is currently running

       $net->is_persistent()
	   Returns a true value if the network has a persistent configuration file defined

       my $xml = $net->get_xml_description()
	   Returns an XML document containing a complete description of the network's configuration

       $net->create()
	   Start a network whose configuration was previously defined using the "define_network" method in Sys::Virt.

       $net->undefine()
	   Remove the configuration associated with a network previously defined with the "define_network" method in Sys::Virt. If the network is
	   running, you probably want to use the "shutdown" or "destroy" methods instead.

       $net->destroy()
	   Immediately terminate the machine, and remove it from the virtual machine monitor. The $net handle is invalid after this call completes
	   and should not be used again.

       $net->get_bridge_name()
	   Return the name of the bridge device associated with the virtual network

       $flag = $net->get_autostart();
	   Return a true value if the virtual network is configured to automatically start upon boot. Return false, otherwise

       $net->set_autostart($flag)
	   Set the state of the autostart flag, which determines whether the virtual network will automatically start upon boot of the host OS.

CONSTANTS

XML CONSTANTS

       The following constants are used when querying XML

       Sys::Virt::Network::XML_INACTIVE
	   Request the inactive XML, instead of the current possibly live config.
