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.

And allow libxl to handle channel element which creates a Xen
console visible to the guest as a low-bandwitdh communication
channel. If type is PTY we also fetch the tty after boot using
libxl_channel_getinfo to fetch the tty path. On socket case,
we autogenerate a path if not specified in the XML. Path autogenerated
is slightly different from qemu driver: qemu stores also on
"channels/target" but it creates then a directory per domain with
each channel target name. libxl doesn't appear to have a clear
definition of private files associated with each domain, so for
simplicity we do it slightly different. On qemu each autogenerated
channel goes like:
channels/target/<domain-name>/<target name>
Whereas for libxl:
channels/target/<domain-name>-<target name>
Should note that if path is not specified it won't persist,
existing only on live XML, unless user had initially specified it.
Since support for libxl channels only came on Xen >= 4.5 we therefore
need to conditionally compile it with LIBXL_HAVE_DEVICE_CHANNEL.
After this patch and having a qemu guest agent:
$ cat domain.xml | grep -a1 channel | head -n 5 | tail -n 4
<channel type='unix'>
<source mode='bind' path='/tmp/channel'/>
<target type='xen' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/>
</channel>
$ virsh create domain.xml
$ echo '{"execute":"guest-network-get-interfaces"}' | socat
stdio,ignoreeof unix-connect:/tmp/channel
{"execute":"guest-network-get-interfaces"}

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.
