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 on
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
libvirt-glib wraps libvirt to provide a high-level object-oriented API better
|
|
suited for glib-based applications.
