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.

Erik Skultety ccae95d50e admin: Resolve leaked reference to private data
Running valgrind on a very simplistic program consisting only of
opening and closing admin connection (virAdmConnect{Open,Close}) shows a
leak in remoteAdminPrivNew, because the last reference to privateData is
not decremented, thus the object won't be disposed. This patch unrefs
the privateData object once we closed the active connection to daemon,
making further use of this connection  useless.

         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.
