Currently the VSH_OT_ARGV options don't support complete, But some of
VSH_OT_ARGV options are gonna support complete in upcoming patches.
Once applied the upcoming completion patches for VSH_OT_ARGV options, If
we don't ignore VSH_OT_ARGV here, The vshReadlineOptionsGenerator will
be called, Hence complete output will consist of the result by command
completer + the result by option completer, It's confusing.
e.g.
$ virsh domstats --domain <TAB><TAB>
--backing --interface --list-paused --perf --vcpu
--balloon leap42.3 --list-persistent --raw win10
--block --list-active --list-running sles12sp3
--cpu-total --list-inactive --list-shutoff sles15
--enforce --list-other --list-transient --state
After this patch and the upcoming completion patches:
$ virsh domstats --domain <TAB><TAB>
leap42.3 sles12sp3 sles15 win10

Libvirt API for virtualization
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.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:
License
The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are
not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER
and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.
Installation
Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install
While to build & install as an unprivileged user
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install
The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will
be detected during execution of the configure script and a summary printed
which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.
Contributing
The libvirt project welcomes contributions in many ways. For most components the best way to contribute is to send patches to the primary development mailing list. Further guidance on this can be found on the website:
