NAME
       Sys::Virt::Interface - Represent & manage a libvirt host network interface

DESCRIPTION
       The "Sys::Virt::Interface" module represents a host network interface allowing configuration of IP addresses, bonding, vlans and bridges.

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

       $iface->is_active()
	   Returns a true value if the interface is currently running

       my $name = $iface->get_mac()
	   Returns a string with the hardware MAC address of the interface

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

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

       $iface->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.

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

CONSTANTS
   XML CONSTANTS
       The following constants are used when querying XML

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