On some systems (linux, cygwin and gnukfreebsd) rpcgen generates files which when compiling produces this warning: remote/remote_protocol.c: In function 'xdr_remote_node_get_cpu_stats_ret': remote/remote_protocol.c:530: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing] Hence, on those systems we need to post-process the files by the rpc/genprotocol.pl perl script. At the beginning of the script the OS is detected via $^O perl variable. From my latest build on FreeBSD I see we need to fix the code there too. On FreeBSD the variable contains 'freebsd' string: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlport.html#PLATFORMS Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>
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.

Description
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.
