Not all device types were represented in virDomainDeviceType, so some types of devices couldn't be represented in a virDomainDeviceDef (which requires a different type of pointer in the union for each different kind of device). Since serial, parallel, channel, and console devices are all virDomainChrDef, and the virDomainDeviceType is never used to produce a string from the type (and only used in the other direction internally to code, never to produce XML), I only added one "CHR" type, which is associated with "virDomainChrDefPtr chr" in the union.
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.
