The current character device syntax uses either -serial tty,path=/dev/ttyS2 Or -chardev tty,id=serial0,path=/dev/ttyS2 -serial chardev:serial0 With the new -device support, we now prefer -chardev file,id=serial0,path=/tmp/serial.log -device isa-serial,chardev=serial0 This patch changes the existing -chardev syntax to use this new scheme, and fallbacks to the old plain -serial syntax for old QEMU. The monitor device changes to -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/tmp/test-monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor In addition, this patch adds --nodefaults, which kills off the default serial, parallel, vga and nic devices. THis avoids the need for us to explicitly turn each off
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.
