This adds support for a libvirt client configuration file either /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf for privileged clients, or $HOME/.libvirt/libvirt.conf for unprivileged clients. It allows one parameter uri_aliases = [ "hail=qemu+ssh://root@hail.cloud.example.com/system", "sleet=qemu+ssh://root@sleet.cloud.example.com/system", ] Any call to virConnectOpen with a non-NULL URI will first attempt to match against the uri_aliases list. An application can disable this by using VIR_CONNECT_NO_ALIASES * docs/uri.html.in: Document URI aliases * include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Add VIR_CONNECT_NO_ALIASES * libvirt.spec.in, mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Add /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf * src/Makefile.am: Install default config file * src/libvirt.c: Add support for URI aliases * src/remote/remote_driver.c: Don't try to handle URIs with no scheme and which clearly are not paths * src/util/conf.c: Don't raise error on virConfFree(NULL) * src/xen/xen_driver.c: Don't raise error on URIs with no scheme
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.
