The qemuFirmwareOSInterfaceTypeFromOsDefFirmware method was added to convert from virDomainOsDefFirmware to the qemuFirmwareOSInterface enum. It was later also used to convert from virDomainLoader to qemuFirmwareOSInterface in: commit8e1804f9f6Author: Michal Prívozník <mprivozn@redhat.com> Date: Tue Dec 17 17:45:50 2019 +0100 qemu_firmware: Try to autofill for old style UEFI specification This caused compile errors with clang due to passing a mis-matched enum type. These were later silenced by stripping the enum types: commit8fcee47807Author: Michal Prívozník <mprivozn@redhat.com> Date: Wed Jan 8 09:42:47 2020 +0100 qemu_firmware: Accept int in qemuFirmwareOSInterfaceTypeFromOsDefFirmware() This is still rather confusing to humans reading the code. It is clearer to just define a separate helper method for the virDomainLoader type conversion. Reviewed-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

==============================
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:
