To facilitate creation of new clients using XDR RPC services, pull alot of the remote driver code into a set of reusable objects. - virNetClient: Encapsulates a socket connection to a remote RPC server. Handles all the network I/O for reading/writing RPC messages. Delegates RPC encoding and decoding to the registered programs - virNetClientProgram: Handles processing and dispatch of RPC messages for a single RPC (program,version). A program can register to receive async events from a client - virNetClientStream: Handles generic I/O stream integration to RPC layer Each new client program now merely needs to define the list of RPC procedures & events it wants and their handlers. It does not need to deal with any of the network I/O functionality at all.
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.
