- `Hypervisor drivers`_
- `Storage drivers <storage.html>`__
- `Node device driver <drvnodedev.html>`__
- `Secret driver <drvsecret.html>`__
The libvirt public API delegates its implementation to one or more internal
drivers, depending on the `connection URI <uri.html>`__ passed when initializing
the library. There is always a hypervisor driver active, and if the libvirt
daemon is available there will usually be a network and storage driver active.
