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 new listenNetwork attribute needs to learn an IP address based on a named network. This patch provides a function networkGetNetworkAddress which provides that. Some networks have an IP address explicitly in their configuration (ie, those with a forward type of "none", "route", or "nat"). For those, we can just return the IP address from the config. The rest will have a physical device associated with them (either via <bridge name='...'/>, <forward ... dev='...'/>, or possibly via a pool of interfaces inside the network's <forward> element) and we will need to ask the kernel for a current IP address of that device (via the newly added ifaceGetIPAddress) If networkGetNetworkAddress encounters an error while trying to learn the address for a network, it will return -1. In the case that libvirt has been compiled without the network driver, the call is a macro which reduces to -2. This allows differentiating between a failure of the network driver, and its complete absence. |

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.
