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.

Now that we've switched to the simple handling, the first thing that can be massively simplified is checkpoint deletion. We now need to only go through the backing chain and find the appropriately named bitmaps and delete them, no complex lookups or merging. Note that compared to other functions this deletes the bitmap in all layers compared to others where we expect only exactly 1 bitmap of a name in the backing chain to prevent potential problems.

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.

Some parts of the code that are not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General Public License, version 2.0 (or later).

Installation ============ Instructions on building and installing libvirt can be found on the website: https://libvirt.org/compiling.html Contributing ============ The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website: https://libvirt.org/contribute.html Contact ======= The libvirt project has two primary mailing lists: * libvirt-users@redhat.com (**for user discussions**) * libvir-list@redhat.com (**for development only**) Further details on contacting the project are available on the website: https://libvirt.org/contact.html
