<h2><a name="Drivers">The libvirt Drivers</a></h2>
|
||||
<p>Drivers are the basic building block for libvirt functionality
|
||||
to support the capability to handle specific hypervisor driver calls.
|
||||
Drivers are discovered and registered during connection processing as
|
||||
part of the <code class='docref'>virInitialize</code> API. Each driver
|
||||
has a registration API which loads up the driver specific function
|
||||
references for the libvirt APIs to call. The following is a simplistic
|
||||
view of the hypervisor driver mechanism. Consider the stacked list of
|
||||
drivers as a series of modules that can be plugged into the architecture
|
||||
depending on how libvirt is configured to be built.</p>

|
||||
<p>The driver architecture is also used to support other virtualization
|
||||
components such as storage, storage pools, host device, networking,
|
||||
network interfaces, and network filters.</p>
|
||||
<p>See the <a href="drivers.html">libvirt drivers</a> page for more
|
||||
information on hypervisor and storage specific drivers.</p>
|
||||
<p>Not all drivers support every virtualization function possible.
|
||||
The <a href="hvsupport.html">libvirt API support matrix</a> lists
|
||||
the various functions and support found in each driver by the version
|
||||
support was added into libvirt.
