     <p> The figure above shows the five main objects exported by the API:</p>
     <ul>
-      <li>virConnectPtr: represent a connection to an hypervisor.</li>
-      <li>virDomainPtr: represent one domain either active or defined (i.e.
-      existing as permanent config file and storage but not currently running
-      on that node). The function <code class='docref'>virConnectListDomains</code>
-      allows to list all the IDs for the domains active on this hypervisor.</li>
-      <li>virNetworkPtr: represent one network either active or defined (i.e.
-      existing as permanent config file and storage but not currently activated.
-      The function <code class='docref'>virConnectListNetworks</code>
-      allows to list all the virtualization networks activated on this node.</li>
-      <li>virStorageVolPtr: represent one storage volume, usually this is used
+      <li><code class='docref'>virConnectPtr</code>
+      <p>Represents the connection to a hypervisor. Use one of the
+      <a href="html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virConnectOpen">virConnectOpen</a>
+      functions to obtain connection to the hypervisor which is then used
+      as a parameter to other connection API's.</p></li>
+      <li><code class='docref'>virDomainPtr</code>
+      <p>Represents one domain either active or defined (i.e. existing as
+      permanent config file and storage but not currently running on that
+      node). The function <code class='docref'>virConnectListAllDomains</code>
+      lists all the domains for the hypervisor.</p></li>

+      <li><code class='docref'>virStorageVolPtr</code>
+      <p>Represents one storage volume generally used
       as a block device available to one of the domains. The function
-      <code class="docref">virStorageVolLookupByPath</code> allows to find
-      the object based on its path on the node.</li>
-      <li>virStoragePoolPtr: represent a storage pool, i.e. a logical area
-      which can be used to allocate and store storage volumes. The function
-      <code class="docref">virStoragePoolLookupByVolume</code> allows to find
-      the storage pool containing a given storage volume.</li>
+      <code class="docref">virStorageVolLookupByPath</code> finds
+      the storage volume object based on its path on the node.</p></li>
+      <li><code class='docref'>virStoragePoolPtr</code>
+      <p>Represents a storage pool, which is a logical area
+      used to allocate and store storage volumes. The function
+      <code class='docref'>virConnectListAllStoragePools</code> lists
+      all of the virtualization storage pools on the hypervisor. The function
+      <code class="docref">virStoragePoolLookupByVolume</code> finds
+      the storage pool containing a given storage volume.</p></li>

       XML descriptions. This is used primarily to create those object, but is
       also helpful to modify or save their description back.</p>

+    <p> Domains, networks, and storage pools can be either <code>active</code>
       i.e. either running or available for immediate use, or
       <code>defined</code> in which case they are inactive but there is
       a permanent definition available in the system for them. Based on this

-      <li>by their <code>ID</code>, which is a runtime unique identifier
-      provided by the hypervisor for one given activation of the object,
