The output of the function is fed as argument to '-device' command line argument or 'device_add' monitor command except for 'guestfwd' channels where it needs to be fed to -netdev/netdev_add. This is confusing and error prone. Split it up since the caller needs to know which command/option to use anyways, so the caller can call the appropriate function without any magic.

It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor. For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users. Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
