< p > 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 < a href = "http://www.opensource.org/licenses/lgpl-license.html" > GNU
Lesser General Public License</ a > . Virtualization of the Linux Operating
System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems
concurently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven
2007-11-21 10:38:07 +00:00
by a Linux (or Solaris) instance. The library aims at providing a long term
stable C API initially for < a href = "http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/index.html" > Xen
paravirtualization</ a > but it can also integrate with other
virtualization mechanisms. It currently also supports < a href = "http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/" > QEMU</ a > , < a href = "http://kvm.qumranet.com/" > KVM</ a > and
