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.

We publish libvirt-api.xml for others to use, and in fact, the libvirt-python bindings use it to generate python constants that correspond to our enum values. However, we had an off-by-one bug that any enum that relied on C's rules for implicit initialization of the first enum member to 0 got listed in the xml as having a value of 1 (and all later members of the enum were equally botched). The fix is simple - since we add one to the previous value when encountering an enum without an initializer, the previous value must start at -1 so that the first enum member is assigned 0. The python generator code has had the off-by-one ever since DV first wrote it years ago, but most of our public enums were immune because they had an explicit = 0 initializer. The only affected enums are: - virDomainEventGraphicsAddressType (such as VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_ADDRESS_IPV4), since commit |

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.
