Most of the pattern is no longer relevant, because the files it
was intended to match have been dropped from the repository.
Specifically:
files commit date
------------------ ------------ ----------
*.gif 6cb131e5cbd0 2022-01-19
*.fig 9ad637c9651f 2020-07-10
docs/news*.html.in f45735786a3d 2020-06-02
docs/*.patch 6be034a8c062 2018-08-23
We can also avoid having a fallback value for the pattern: that
made sense when the implementation was coming from gnulib, as
they wouldn't be able to know in advance if the user would need
to provide their own exclude patterns, but that scenario is no
longer relevant to us.

Libvirt API for virtualization
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.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
