Since its introduction in 4d1b771fbb610537b7425e649a490143588b8ed3 it has only been used to differentiate between START and non-START. Last use of QEMU_DOMAIN_LOG_CONTEXT_MODE_ATTACH was removed by: commit f709377301b919a9fcbfc366e33057f7848bee28 qemu: Fix qemuDomainObjTaint with virtlogd QEMU_DOMAIN_LOG_CONTEXT_MODE_STOP is unused since: commit cf3ea0769c54a328733bcb0cd27f546e70090c89 qemu: process: Append the "shutting down" message using the new APIs Now, the only caller passes QEMU_DOMAIN_LOG_CONTEXT_MODE_START. Assume that's always the case and remove the 'mode' argument. Signed-off-by: Ján Tomko <jtomko@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>
Libvirt API for virtualization
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.
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.
