* qemuDomainPCIAddressSetNextAddr The name of this function was confusing because 1) other functions in the file that end in "Addr" are only operating on a single function of one PCI slot, not the entire slot, while functions that do something with the entire slot end in "Slot", and 2) it didn't contain a verb describing what it is doing (the "Set" refers to the set that contains all PCI buses in the system, used to keep track of which slots in which buses are already reserved for use). It is now renamed to qemuDomainPCIAddressReserveNextSlot, which more clearly describes what it is doing. Arguably, it could have been changed to qemuDomainPCIAddressSetReserveNextSlot, but 1) the word "set" is confusing in this context because it could be intended as a verb or as a noun, and 2) most other functions that operate on a single slot or address within this set are also named qemuDomainPCIAddress... rather than qemuDomainPCIAddressSet... Only the Create, Free, and Grow functions for an address set (which modify the entire set, not just one element) use "Set" in their name. * qemuPCIAddressAsString, qemuPCIAddressValidate All the other functions in this set are named qemuDomainPCIAddressxxxxx, so I renamed these to be consistent.
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.
