* RV and RW fields must be at the last position in their respective section (per the conditions in the spec). Therefore, the parser now stops iterating over fields as soon as it encounters one of those fields and checks whether the end of the resource has been reached; * The lack of the RW field is not treated as a parsing error since we can still extract valid data even though this is a PCI/PCIe VPD spec violation; * Individual fields must have a valid length - the parser needs to check for invalid length values that violate boundary conditions of the resource. * A zero-length field may be the last one in the resource, however, the boundary check is currently too strict to allow that.

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.
