  /**
   * virConnectNumOfDefinedInterfaces:
   * @conn: pointer to the hypervisor connection
   *
   * Provides the number of defined (inactive) interfaces on the
   * physical host.
   *
   * Returns the number of defined interface found or -1 in case of
   * error
   */

 *on thephysical host*

ESX only support remote access basically, so the whole set of Interface
functions are moot. I think it's not what you're looking for anyway.
