We use typedef IMedium IHardDisk to make IHardDisk hierachy from
IMedium (Actually it did on vbox 2.2 and 3.0's C++ API).
So when calling
VBOX_MEDIUM_FUNC_ARG*(IHardDisk, func, args)
we can directly replace it to
gVBoxAPI.UIMedium.func(IHardDisk, args)
When dealing with this two types, we get some rules from it's
hierachy relationship.
When using IHardDisk and IMedium as input, we can't transfer a
IMedium to IHardDisk. Like:
gVBoxAPI.UIHardDisk.func(IHardDisk *hardDisk, args)
Here, we can't put a *IMedium as a argument.
When using IHardDisk and IMedium as output, we can't transfer a
IHardDisk to IMedium. Like:
gVBoxAPI.UIMachine.GetMedium(IMedium **out)
Here, we can't put a **IHardDisk as a argument. If this case
do happen, we either change the API to GetHardDisk or write a
new one.
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.
