Jonathon Jongsma 4a632de2ac qemu: query nbdkit module dir from binary
Rather than hard-coding the nbdkit module directory, query the nbdkit
binary for the location to these directories. nbdkit provides a
--dump-config optiont that outputs this information and can be easily
parsed. We can also get the version from this output rather than
executing `nbdkit --version` separately.

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.
