=head1 NAME
Sys::Virt::NodeDevice - Represent & manage a libvirt storage pool
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The C<Sys::Virt::NodeDevice> module represents a storage pool managed
by libvirt. There are a variety of storage pool implementations for
LVM, Local directories/filesystems, network filesystems, disk
partitioning, iSCSI, and SCSI.

}
=item my $name = $dev->get_name()
Returns a string with a locally unique name of the device
=item my $parentname = $dev->get_parent()
Returns a string with a locally unique name of the parent
of the device, or undef if there is no parent
=item my $xml = $dev->get_xml_description($flags=0)
Returns an XML document containing a complete description of the node
device's configuration. The optional $flags parameter controls
generation of the XML document, defaulting to 0 if omitted. It can be
one or more of the XML DUMP constants listed later in this document.
=item $dev->reattach()
Rebind the node device to the host OS device drivers.
=item $dev->dettach()
Unbind the node device from the host OS device driver
=item $dev->reset()
Reset the node device. The device must be unbound from the host
OS drivers for this to work
=item $dev->create($flags=0)
Start a node device whose configuration was previously defined using the
C<define_node_device> method in L<Sys::Virt>. The C<$flags> parameter is
currently unused and defaults to zero.
=item $dev->undefine($flags=0)
Delete a node device whose configuration was previously defined using the
C<define_node_device> method in L<Sys::Virt>. The C<$flags> parameter is
currently unused and defaults to zero.
=item $flag = $dev->get_autostart();
Return a true value if the node device is configured to automatically
start upon boot. Return false, otherwise
=item $dev->set_autostart($flag)
Set the state of the autostart flag, which determines whether the
node device will automatically start upon boot of the host OS.
=item $dev->is_active()
Returns a true value if the node device is currently running
=item $dev->is_persistent()
Returns a true value if the node device has a persistent configuration
file defined
=item $dev->destroy()
Destroy the virtual device releasing any OS resources associated
with it.
=item my @caps = $dev->list_capabilities()
Return a list of all capabilities in the device.
=item $dev->update($xml, $flags=0)
Update the definition of an existing node device with C<$xml>. The
C<$flags> parameter can be use to control which config is affected
(see XML UPDATE FLAGS) and defaults to zero (affect current state of
the node device).
