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 3cff66f487 snapshot: fine-tune ability to start paused
While it is nice that snapshots and saved images remember whether
the domain was running or paused, sometimes the restoration phase
wants to guarantee a particular state (paused to allow hot-plugging,
or running without needing to call resume).  This introduces new
flags to allow the control, and a later patch will implement the
flags for qemu.

* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_RUNNING)
(VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PAUSED, VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_REVERT_RUNNING)
(VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_REVERT_PAUSED): New flags.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainSaveFlags, virDomainRestoreFlags)
(virDomainManagedSave, virDomainSaveImageDefineXML)
(virDomainRevertToSnapshot): Document their use, and enforce
mutual exclusion.

         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.
