The unshare() syscall was introduced to Linux in commit 2da436e00f9a5fdd0fb6b31e4b2b2ba82e8f5ab8 Author: JANAK DESAI <janak@us.ibm.com> Date: Tue Feb 7 12:59:03 2006 -0800 [PATCH] unshare system call -v5: system call registration for i386 This is old enough that all our supported platforms can be assumed to have this feature. Furthermore, the virprocess.c file was already using unshare() with nothing more than a #ifdef __linux__ check. Reviewed-by: Ján Tomko <jtomko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

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.
