I must be blind but can't figure out how to do run virsh start some_domain from these bindings.

Retrieve the domain with whatever method you want, then use Create() or CreateWithFlags().

awesome, thanks. I did indeed see that but through that because virsh create inactive-domain from the cli on an inactive domain throws an error it would have the same functionality.

@michaeljs1990 That's a good point. The naming looks to be wrong. Any chance you could make a PR with the right name? (Maybe don't phase out the old name, or just deprecated it) so that the names properly match up with the libvirt API?

virsh start uses virDomainCreateWithFlags() and virDomainCreate(). virsh create expects an XML file for domain creation (and uses virDomainCreateXML().

Aha, so it's named appropriately according to the API, not the command line. So we're doing the right thing. Thanks for the clarification =)
