Get this by calling <a href="libvirt-libvirt.html#virDomainGetXMLDesc">virDomainGetXMLDesc</a> and finding the <target dev='...'> attribute within //domain/devices/disk. (For example, "xvda"). Domains may have more than one block device. To get stats for each you should make multiple calls to this function. Individual fields within the stats structure may be returned as -1, which indicates that the hypervisor does not support that particular statistic.</p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0"><col align="left" /><tbody><tr><td><span class="term"><i><tt>dom</tt></i>:</span></td><td>pointer to the domain object</td></tr><tr><td><span class="term"><i><tt>path</tt></i>:</span></td><td>path to the block device</td></tr><tr><td><span class="term"><i><tt>stats</tt></i>:</span></td><td>block device stats (returned)</td></tr><tr><td><span class="term"><i><tt>size</tt></i>:</span></td><td>size of stats structure</td></tr><tr><td><span class="term"><i><tt>Returns</tt></i>:</span></td><td>0 in case of success or -1 in case of failure.</td></tr></tbody></table></div><h3><a name="virDomainCoreDump" id="virDomainCoreDump"><code>virDomainCoreDump</code></a></h3><pre class="programlisting">int virDomainCoreDump (<a href="libvirt-libvirt.html#virDomainPtr">virDomainPtr</a> domain, <br /> const char * to, <br /> int flags)<br />
