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 40624d32fb API: remote support for VIR_TYPED_PARAM_STRING
Send and receive string typed parameters across RPC.  This also
completes the back-compat mentioned in the previous patch - the
only time we have an older client talking to a newer server is
if RPC is in use, so filtering out strings during RPC prevents
returning an unknown type to the older client.

* src/remote/remote_protocol.x (remote_typed_param_value): Add
another union value.
* daemon/remote.c (remoteDeserializeTypedParameters): Handle
strings on rpc.
(remoteSerializeTypedParameters): Likewise; plus filter out
strings when replying to older clients.  Adjust callers.
* src/remote/remote_driver.c (remoteFreeTypedParameters)
(remoteSerializeTypedParameters)
(remoteDeserializeTypedParameters): Handle strings on rpc.
* src/rpc/gendispatch.pl: Properly clean up typed arrays.
* src/remote_protocol-structs: Update.
Based on an initial patch by Hu Tao, with feedback from
Daniel P. Berrange.

         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.
