libvirt Python Bindings Hacking
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Most of the libvirt python binding code is automatically generated
|
|
using the script generator.py, and the API description that the
|
|
libvirt library installs at the location shown by pkg-config, with
|
|
this command:
|
|
|
|
$ pkg-config --variable libvirt_api libvirt
|
|
/usr/share/libvirt/api/libvirt-api.xml
|
|
|
|
Some of the API descriptions in the primary XML files are not directly
|
|
usable by the code generator. Thus there are overrides in
|
|
|
|
- libvirt-override-api.xml
|
|
- libvirt-qemu-override-api.xml
|
|
- libvirt-lxc-override-api.xml
|
|
|
|
For stuff which the generator can't cope with at all there are some
|
|
hand written source files
|
|
|
|
- libvirt-override.c - low level binding to libvirt.so
|
|
- libvirt-qemu-override.c - low level binding to libvirt-qemu.so
|
|
- libvirt-lxc-override.c - low level binding to libvirt-lxc.so
|
|
|
|
- libvirt-override.py - high level overrides in the global namespace
|
|
- libvirt-override-virConnect.py - high level overrides in
|
|
the virConnect class
|
|
- libvirt-override-virDomain.py - high level overrides in
|
|
the virDomain class
|
|
- libvirt-override-virDomainCheckpoint.py - high level overrides in
|
|
the virDomainCheckpoint class
|
|
- libvirt-override-virDomainSnapshot.py - high level overrides in
|
|
the virDomainSnapshot class
|
|
- libvirt-override-virStoragePool.py - high level overrides in
|
|
the virStoragePool class
|
|
- libvirt-override-virStream.py - high level overrides in
|
|
the virStream class
