In 0895a0e, it was noted that the "sockets" value in the topology section of capabilities reflects not the number of sockets per NUMA node, not the total number. Unfortunately, the fix was applied to the wrong place: the domain XML format documentation, not that for the capabilities output. And, in fact, the domain XML interprets "sockets" as the total number, not a per-node value. Back out this change in favour of a note in the capabilities documentation instead.

Libvirt API for virtualization
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 some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
