This was accomplished in xml parsing by doing away with the stripped-down virInterfaceBareDef object, and just always using virInterfaceDef, but with restrictions in certain places (eg, the type of subordinate interface allowed in parsing depends on the parent interface). xml formatting was similarly adjusted. In addition, the formatting functions keep track of the level of interface nesting, and insert extra leading spaces on each line accordingly (using %*s). The only change in formatted xml from previous (aside frmo supporting new combinations of interface types) is that the subordinate ethernet interfaces take up 2 lines rather than one, eg: <interface type='ethernet' name='eth0'> </interface> instead of: <interface type='ethernet' name='eth0'/>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact 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 concurrently 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 initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
