To enable virsh console (or equivalent) to be used remotely it is necessary to provide remote access to the /dev/pts/XXX pseudo-TTY associated with the console/serial/parallel device in the guest. The virStream API provide a bi-directional I/O stream capability that can be used for this purpose. This patch thus introduces a virDomainOpenConsole API that uses the stream APIs. * src/libvirt.c, src/libvirt_public.syms, include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in, src/driver.h: Define the new virDomainOpenConsole API * src/esx/esx_driver.c, src/lxc/lxc_driver.c, src/opennebula/one_driver.c, src/openvz/openvz_driver.c, src/phyp/phyp_driver.c, src/qemu/qemu_driver.c, src/remote/remote_driver.c, src/test/test_driver.c, src/uml/uml_driver.c, src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c, src/xen/xen_driver.c, src/xenapi/xenapi_driver.c: Stub API entry point
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.

Description
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.
