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.

Ján Tomko 31d42506fb conf: add features to volume target XML
Add <features> and <compat> elements to volume target XML.

<compat> is a string which for qcow2 represents the QEMU version
it should be compatible with. Valid values are 0.10 and 1.1.
1.1 is implicit if the <features> element is present, otherwise
qemu-img default is used. 0.10 can be specified to explicitly
create older images after the qemu-img default changes.

<features> contains optional features, so far
<lazy_refcounts/> is available, which enables caching of reference
counters, improving performance for snapshots.

         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.
