Admin API needs a way of addressing specific clients. Unlike servers, which we are happy to address by names both because its name reflects its purpose (to some extent) and we only have two of them (so far), naming clients doesn't make any sense, since a) each client is an anonymous, i.e. not recognized after a disconnect followed by a reconnect, b) we can't predict what kind of requests it's going to send to daemon, and c) the are loads of them comming and going, so the only viable option is to use an ID which is of a reasonably wide data type.

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.
