The libvirt public API delegates its implementation to one or
|
|
|
|
more internal drivers, depending on the <a href="uri.html">connection URI</a>
|
|
|
|
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.
