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 7a054e99e2 Avoid clash of base64 symbols
On Debian/Ubuntu, one of the libraries libvirt (indirectly) links
with exports a symbol named 'base64_encode'. This takes precedence
over GNULIB's base64_encode function during linking. Unfortunately
they of course have different API semantics. To avoid this problem
use a few #defines in config.h to rename the GNULIB provided
function to have a 'libvirt_gl_' prefix

         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.
