Thanks.

I now see that you replied:

I'm sorry that I didn't spot that emailed response from you, because
it's not what I intended.

To "log something" means to add code to print a message to the
logfile.  In general all places in libxl where an ERROR_FAIL is
generated should be accompanied by an appropriate call of a LOG macro.

There are plenty of examples in (for example) libxl_dom.c.

Your log message should include the domid.

Thanks,
Ian.
