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.

Michal Privoznik 7a90431d7d ch_driver: Don't error out if CH_CMD was not found
The CH driver needs "cloud-hypervisor" binary. And if none was
found then the initialization of the driver fails as
chStateInitialize() returns VIR_DRV_STATE_INIT_ERROR. This in
turn means that whole daemon fails to initialize. Let's return
VIR_DRV_STATE_INIT_SKIPPED in this particular case, which
disables the CH drvier but lets the daemon run.

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.
