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.

Eric Blake 2a1aaa609e virsh: add qemu-monitor-command --pretty
I was using qemu-monitor-command during development, and found it quite
hard to use.  Compare the results of this patch on ease of reading:

$ virsh qemu-monitor-command          dom '{"execute":"query-version"}'
{"return":{"qemu":{"micro":1,"minor":12,"major":0},"package":"(qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2)"},"id":"libvirt-7683"}

$ virsh qemu-monitor-command --pretty dom '{"execute":"query-version"}'
{
    "return": {
        "qemu": {
            "micro": 1,
            "minor": 12,
            "major": 0
        },
        "package": "(qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2)"
    },
    "id": "libvirt-7674"
}

* tools/virsh-host.c (cmdQemuMonitorCommand): New option.
* tools/virsh.pod (qemu-monitor-command): Document it.

         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.
