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.

Jim Meyering 48dc345f2d correct and tighten up .*ignore files
* .cvsignore: Don't ignore *.orig or *.rej.  They're not build products.
Don't ignore the entire m4 directory.
* Makefile.maint (sync-vcs-ignore-files): Correct quoting.
Use sed rather than a for loop.
Search only version-controled files (for reproducibility)
* gnulib/lib/netinet/.cvsignore: Append missing newline-at-EOF,
so that the use of sed doesn't mistakenly concatenate lines.
* gnulib/lib/sys/.cvsignore: Likewise.
* m4/.cvsignore: Ignore acinclude.m4 and aclocal.m4, not *.m4.
* .hgignore: Regenerate.
* all .gitignore files: Regenerate.

         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.
