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.

Stefan Zimmermann 0c77a54e3b maint: improve usage of autogen's --no-git
If you build libvirt with the --no-git option, then gnulib requires
either $GNULIB_SRCDIR in the environment or --gnulib-srcdir on the
command line.  But we had not been supporting its use from the
command line.  This patch is a bit picky: --gnulib-srcdir must be
passed immediately after --no-git; but since we don't reorder
arguments, and since we already required --no-git to be first to
have any effect, it's not too horrible.  It also does the wrong
thing if you include spaces in your arguments, but developers
doing that deserve what they get, right?

         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.
