Libvir is a C toolkit to interract with the virtualization capabilities of
recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available
under the GNU
Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating
System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems
concurently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven
by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API
primarily for the Xen
paravirtualization mechanism but should be able to integrate other
virtualization mechanisms if needed.
