These had been declared in conf/device_conf.h, but then used in util/virnetdev.c, meaning that we had to #include conf/device_conf.h in virnetdev.c (which we have for a long time said shouldn't be done. This caused a bigger problem when I tried to #include util/virnetdev.h in a file in src/conf (which is allowed) - for some reason the "device_conf.h: File not found" error. The solution is to move the data types and functions used in util sources from conf to util. Some names were adjusted during the move ("virInterface" --> "virNetDevIf", and "VIR_INTERFACE" --> "VIR_NETDEV_IF")
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.
