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.
Each backing store of a given disk is associated with a unique index (which is also formatted in domain XML) for easier addressing of any particular backing store. With this patch, any backing store can be addressed by its disk target and the index. For example, "vdc[4]" addresses the backing store with index equal to 4 of the disk identified by "vdc" target. Such shorthand can be used in any API in place for a backing file path: virsh blockcommit domain vda --base vda[3] --top vda[2] Signed-off-by: Jiri Denemark <jdenemar@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.
