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.

Introduce a number of new APIs to expose some boolean properties of objects, which cannot otherwise reliably determined, nor are aspects of the XML configuration. * virDomainIsActive: Checking virDomainGetID is not reliable since it is not possible to distinguish between error condition and inactive domain for ID of -1. * virDomainIsPersistent: Check whether a persistent config exists for the domain * virNetworkIsActive: Check whether the network is active * virNetworkIsPersistent: Check whether a persistent config exists for the network * virStoragePoolIsActive: Check whether the storage pool is active * virStoragePoolIsPersistent: Check whether a persistent config exists for the storage pool * virInterfaceIsActive: Check whether the host interface is active * virConnectIsSecure: whether the communication channel to the hypervisor is secure * virConnectIsEncrypted: whether any network based commnunication channels are encrypted NB, a channel can be secure, even if not encrypted, eg if it does not involve the network, like a UNIX socket, or pipe. * include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Define public API * src/driver.h: Define internal driver API * src/libvirt.c: Implement public API entry point * src/libvirt_public.syms: Export API symbols * src/esx/esx_driver.c, src/lxc/lxc_driver.c, src/interface/netcf_driver.c, src/network/bridge_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: Stub out driver tables |

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.
