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.

Daniel P. Berrangé 3faa78d98d tools: stop checking init scripts & iptables config
The /etc/sysconfig/libvirtd file is a Fedora/RHEL specific concept.
Since those distros switched to systemd socket activation, the
existance of --listen parameter in /etc/sysconfig/libvirtd is no
longer a reliable check. This was further degraded with the switch
to modular daemons where virtproxyd takes over the role.

The /etc/sysconfig/iptables file is a Fedora/RHEL specific concept.
Since those distros switched to firewalld, this file is no longer
a reliable check.

Rather than complicating these checks, just remove them, so that
the virt-pki-validate tool focuses exclusively on TLS configuration
validation.

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.
