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.

the domain XML <interface> element is updated in the following ways: 1) <virtualportprofile> can be specified when source type='network' (previously it was only valid for source type='direct') 2) A new attribute "portgroup" has been added to the <source> element. When source type='network' (the only time portgroup is recognized), extra configuration information will be taken from the <portgroup> element of the given name in the network definition. 3) Each virDomainNetDef now also potentially has a virDomainActualNetDef which is a private object (never exported/imported via the public API, and not defined in the RNG) that is used to maintain information about the physical device that was actually used for a NetDef of type VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK. The virDomainActualNetDef will only be parsed/formatted if the parse/format function is called with the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_ACTUAL_NET flag set (which is only needed when saving/loading a running domain's state info to the stateDir). |

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.
