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.

virAdmConnect was named after virConnect, but after some discussions, most of the APIs called will be working with remote daemon and starting them virAdmDaemon will make more sense. Only possibly controversal name is CloseCallback (de)registration, and connecting to the daemon (which will still be Open/Close), but even this makes sense if one thinks about the daemon being opened and closed, e.g. as file, etc. This way all the APIs working with the daemon will start with virAdmDaemon prefix, they will accept virAdmDaemonPtr as first parameter and that will better suit with other namings as well (virDomain*, virAdmServer*, etc.). Because in virt-admin, the connection name does not refer to a struct that would have a connect in its name, also adjust 'connname' in clients. And because it is not used anywhere in the vsh code, move it from there into each client. Signed-off-by: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@redhat.com> |

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.
