Re-write virsh console to use streams
This re-writes the 'virsh console' command so that it uses the new streams API. This lets it run remotely and/or as a non-root user. This requires that virsh be linked against the simple event loop from libvirtd in daemon/event.c As an added bonus, it can now connect to any console device, not just the first one. * tools/Makefile.am: Link to event.c * tools/console.c, tools/console.h: Rewrite to use the virDomainOpenConsole() APIs with streams * tools/virsh.c: Support choosing the console name via --devname $NAME
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.
