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 8845d8dfa3 Remove & ban use of select() for waiting for I/O
Use of the select() system call is inherantly dangerous since
applications will hit a buffer overrun if any FD number exceeds
the size of the select set size (typically 1024). Replace the
two uses of select() with poll() and use cfg.mk to ban any
future use of select().

NB: This changes the phyp driver so that it uses an infinite
timeout, instead of busy-waiting for 1ms at a time.

         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.
