+ * @flags: extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0
+ *
+ * The function populates @errors array with all disks that encountered an
+ * I/O error.  Disks with no error will not be returned in the @errors array.
+ * Each disk is identified by its target (the dev attribute of target
+ * subelement in domain XML), such as "vda", and accompanied with the error
+ * that was seen on it.  The caller is also responsible for calling free()
+ * on each disk name returned.
+ *
+ * In a special case when @errors is NULL and @maxerrors is 0, the function
+ * returns preferred size of @errors that the caller should use to get all
+ * disk errors.
+ *
+ * Since calling virDomainGetDiskErrors(dom, NULL, 0, 0) to get preferred size
+ * of @errors array and getting the errors are two separate operations, new
+ * disks may be hotplugged to the domain and new errors may be encountered
+ * between the two calls.  Thus, this function may not return all disk errors
+ * because the supplied array is not large enough.  Such errors may, however,
+ * be detected by listening to domain events.
+ *
+ * Returns number of disks with errors filled in the @errors array or -1 on
