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.

Daniel P. Berrange 63ba687f2b Properly handle -h / -V for --help/--version aliases in virtlockd/libvirtd
The virtlockd/libvirtd daemons had listed '?' as the short option
for --help. getopt_long uses '?' for any unknown option. We want
to be able to distinguish unknown options (which use EXIT_FAILURE)
from correct usage of help (which should use EXIT_SUCCESS). Thus
we should use 'h' as a short option for --help. Also add this to
the man page docs

The virtlockd/libvirtd daemons did not list any short option
for the --version arg. Add -V as a valid short option, since
-v is already used for --verbose.

         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.
