Peter Krempa c363f03e6d virnetdaemon: Introduce virNetDaemonQuitExecRestart
Recent changes which meant to fix daemon shutdown broke the exec-restart
capability of virtlogd and virtlockd, since the code actually closed all
the sockets and shut down all the internals.

Add virNetDaemonQuitExecRestart, which requests a shutdown of the
process, but keeps all the services open and registered since they are
preserved across the restart.

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.
