Libvirt native C API and daemons
51d9af4c0c
During testing of my patch v6.10.0-rc1~221 it was found that
'ovs-vsctl get Interface $name name' or
'ovs-vsctl find Interface options:vhost-server-path=$path'
may return a string in double quotes, e.g. "vhost-user1". Later
investigation of openvswitch code showed, that early versions
(like 1.3.0) have somewhat restrictive set of safe characters
(isalpha() || '_' || '-' || '.'), which is then refined with
increasing version. For instance, version 2.11.4 has: isalnum()
|| '_' || '-' || '.'. If the string that ovs-vsctl wants to
output contains any other character it is escaped. You want to be
looking at ovsdb_atom_to_string() which handles outputting of a
single string and calls string_needs_quotes() and possibly
json_serialize_string() in openvswitch code base.
Since the interfaces are usually named "vhost-userN" we are
facing a problem where with one version we get the name in double
quotes and with another we get plain name without funny business.
Because of json involved I thought, let's make ovs-vsctl output
into JSON format and then use our JSON parser, but guess what -
ovs-vsctl ignores --format=json. But with a little help of
g_strdup_printf() it can be turned into JSON.
Fixes:

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.

Some parts of the code that are not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General Public License, version 2.0 (or later).

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: https://libvirt.org/contribute.html Contact ======= The libvirt project has two primary mailing lists: * libvirt-users@redhat.com (**for user discussions**) * libvir-list@redhat.com (**for development only**) Further details on contacting the project are available on the website: https://libvirt.org/contact.html
