Jonathon Jongsma d0fd04556c qemu: implement persistent file cache for nbdkit caps
Implement the loadFile and saveFile virFileCacheHandlers callbacks so
that nbdkit capabilities are cached perstistently across daemon
restarts. The format and implementation is modeled on the qemu
capabilities, but simplified slightly.

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.
