Introduces a simple wrapper around the raw POSIX sockets APIs and name resolution APIs. Allows for easy creation of client and server sockets with correct usage of name resolution APIs for protocol agnostic socket setup. It can listen for UNIX and TCP stream sockets. It can connect to UNIX, TCP streams directly, or indirectly to UNIX sockets via an SSH tunnel or external command * src/Makefile.am: Add to libvirt-net-rpc.la * src/rpc/virnetsocket.c, src/rpc/virnetsocket.h: Generic sockets APIs * tests/Makefile.am: Add socket test * tests/virnetsockettest.c: New test case * tests/testutils.c: Avoid overriding LIBVIRT_DEBUG settings * tests/ssh.c: Dumb helper program for SSH tunnelling tests
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.
