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.
With Mac OS X 10.9, xdrproc_t is no longer defined as: typedef bool_t (*xdrproc_t)(XDR *, ...); but instead as: typdef bool_t (*xdrproc_t)(XDR *, void *, unsigned int); For reference, Linux systems typically define it as: typedef bool_t (*xdrproc_t)(XDR *, void *, ...); The rationale explained in the header is that using a vararg is incorrect and has a potential to change the ABI slightly do to compiler optimizations taken and the undefined behavior. They decided to specify the exact number of parameters and for compatibility with old code decided to make the signature require 3 arguments. The third argument is ignored for cases that its not used and its recommended to supply a 0. |

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.
