This new module holds and formats capabilities for emulator. If you are about to create a new domain, you may want to know what is the host or hypervisor capable of. To make sure we don't regress on the XML, the formatting is not something left for each driver to implement, rather there's general format function. The domain capabilities is a lockable object (even though the locking is not necessary yet) which uses reference counter. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>
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.
