The qemuFirmwareOSInterfaceTypeFromOsDefFirmware method was added to convert from virDomainOsDefFirmware to the qemuFirmwareOSInterface enum. It was later also used to convert from virDomainLoader to qemuFirmwareOSInterface in: commit 8e1804f9f66f13ca1412d22bf1a957b6d55a2365 Author: Michal Prívozník <mprivozn@redhat.com> Date: Tue Dec 17 17:45:50 2019 +0100 qemu_firmware: Try to autofill for old style UEFI specification This caused compile errors with clang due to passing a mis-matched enum type. These were later silenced by stripping the enum types: commit 8fcee47807d29008632a7ad918cbe93ac0a20597 Author: Michal Prívozník <mprivozn@redhat.com> Date: Wed Jan 8 09:42:47 2020 +0100 qemu_firmware: Accept int in qemuFirmwareOSInterfaceTypeFromOsDefFirmware() This is still rather confusing to humans reading the code. It is clearer to just define a separate helper method for the virDomainLoader type conversion. Reviewed-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

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.
