Define an <encryption> tag specifying volume encryption format and format-depenedent parameters (e.g. passphrase, cipher name, key length, key). Currently the only defined parameter is a reference to a "secret" (passphrase/key) managed using the virSecret* API. Only the qcow/qcow2 encryption format, and a "default" format used to let libvirt choose the format during volume creation, is currently supported. This patch does not add any users; the <encryption> tag is added in the following patches to both volumes (to support encrypted volume creation) and domains. * docs/*.html: Re-generate * docs/formatstorageencryption.html.in, docs/sitemap.html.in: Add page describing storage encryption data format * docs/schemas/Makefile.am, docs/schemas/storageencryption.rng: Add RNG schema for storage encryption format * po/POTFILES.in: Add src/storage_encryption_conf.c * src/libvirt_private.syms: Export virStorageEncryption* functions * src/storage_encryption_conf.h, src/storage_encryption_conf.c: Internal helper APIs for dealing with storage encryption format * libvirt.spec.in, mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Add storageencryption.rng RNG schema
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.
