The new type is identical to the three old types that it replaces, and by creating a common type, this allows future patches to share common code that manipulates typed parameters. This change is backwards-compatible in API (recompilation works without any edits) and ABI (an older client that has not been recompiled uses the same layout) for code using only public names; only code using private names (those beginning with _) will have to adapt. * include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virTypedParameterType) (VIR_TYPED_PARAM_FIELD_LENGTH, _virTypedParameter): New enum, macro, and type. (virSchedParameter, virBlkioParameter, virMemoryParameter): Rewrite in terms of a common type, while keeping all old public names for backwards compatibility. (struct _virSchedParameter, struct _virBlkioParameter) (struct _virMemoryParameter): Delete - these are private names. * python/generator.py (enum): Cope with the refactoring.
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.

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.
