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.

Miloslav Trmač 05b9b8fda3 Add volume encryption information handling.
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.
