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.

Benjamin Cama cff5573da2 virterror: Misleading error message when name is missing
[forwarding this here from RH bug #796732]

When creating a network (virsh net-create) with an erroneous XML
containing an empty <name> element, the error message is misleading:

error: Failed to create network from foo.xml
error: missing domain name information

It took me a bit of time to figure out that it was the *network* name
that was missing (I generate this xml and didn't look at it, first).

I realized that the same message is used for missing name when creating
a domain, network, or device node.

         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.
