This patch adds a new API, virDomainOpenChannel, that uses streams to connect to a virtio channel on a guest. This creates a secure communication channel between a guest and a libvirt client. This behaves the same as virDomainOpenConsole, except on channels instead of console/serial/parallel devices.
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.
