Helmut Grohne 44b348134c meson: Fix cross-building of dtrace probes
dtrace invokes the C compiler, so when cross-building we need
to make sure that $CC is set in the environment and that it
points to the cross-compiler rather than the native one.

Until https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/266
is addressed, the workaround is to call dtrace via env(1).

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.
