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 future work we need _virDomainEventGraphicsAddress and _virDomainEventGraphicsSubjectIdentity members to be char * not const char *. We are strdup()-ing them anyway, so they should have been char * anyway (from const correctness POV). However, we don't want users to change passed values, so we need to make the callback's argument const. Although this is an API change (not ABI though), real callers won't be impacted. Why? 1. these callback members are read-only, so it is less likely that someone is trying to assign into the struct members. 2. The only way to register a virConnectDomainEventGraphicsCallback is to cast it through a call to virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny. That is, even if the user's callback function leaves out the const, we never use the typedef as the direct type of any API parameter. Since they are already casting their function pointer into a munged type before registering it, their code will continue to compile. |

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.
