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.

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.
