Include files
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
There are now quite a large number of include files, both libvirt
|
||||
internal and external, and system includes. To manage all this
|
||||
complexity it's best to stick to the following general plan for all
|
||||
*.c source files:
|
||||
|
||||
/*
|
||||
* Copyright notice
|
||||
* ....
|
||||
* ....
|
||||
* ....
|
||||
*

*/
|
||||
|
||||
#include <config.h> Must come first in every file.
|
||||
|
||||
#include <stdio.h> Any system includes you need.
|
||||
#include <string.h>
|
||||
#include <limits.h>
|
||||
|
||||
#if HAVE_NUMACTL Some system includes aren't supported
|
||||
#include <numa.h> everywhere so need these #if defences.
|
||||
#endif
|
||||
|
||||
#include "internal.h" Include this first, after system includes.
|
||||
|
||||
#include "util.h" Any libvirt internal header files.

||||
#include "buf.h"

||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Of particular note: *DO NOT* include libvirt/libvirt.h or
|
||||
libvirt/virterror.h. It is included by "internal.h" already and there
|
||||
are some special reasons why you cannot include these files
|
||||
explicitly.

<h1>Storage management architecture</h1>
|
||||
<p>
|

The storage management APIs are based around 2 core concepts
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ol><li>
|
||||
<strong>Volume</strong> - a single storage volume which can
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><strong>Volume</strong> - a single storage volume which can
|
||||
be assigned to a guest, or used for creating further pools. A
|
||||
volume is either a block device, a raw file, or a special format
|
||||
file.
|
||||
</li><li>
|
||||
<strong>Pool</strong> - provides a means for taking a chunk
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Pool</strong> - provides a means for taking a chunk
|
||||
of storage and carving it up into volumes. A pool can be used to
|
||||
manage things such as a physical disk, a NFS server, a iSCSI target,
|
||||
a host adapter, an LVM group.
|
||||
</li></ol>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
These two concepts are mapped through to two libvirt objects, a
|
||||
<code>virStorageVolPtr</code> and a <code>virStoragePoolPtr</code>,
