The order of properties in 'device-list-properties' can hange arbitrarily and git is not great at picking the contexts in JSON to help seeing what changed. The new --dump-device-list-properties produces a stable order of properties and dumps also the type and default value mainly useful for comparing two .replies files. Example output: $ ./scripts/qemu-replies-tool.py tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_9.0.0_x86_64.replies --dump-device-list-properties (dev) ICH9-LPC acpi-index uint32 (0) (dev) ICH9-LPC acpi-pci-hotplug-with-bridge-support bool (dev) ICH9-LPC acpi_disable_cmd uint8 (dev) ICH9-LPC acpi_enable_cmd uint8 (dev) ICH9-LPC addr int32 (-1) (dev) ICH9-LPC cpu-hotplug-legacy bool (dev) ICH9-LPC disable_s3 uint8 (dev) ICH9-LPC disable_s4 uint8 Signed-off-by: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Ján Tomko <jtomko@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Andrea Bolognani <abologna@redhat.com>
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.
