There is a couple of C code examples at http://libvirt.org/examples/index.html unfortunately this is a bit lacking. Fetch the sources, you can find a directory python/tests with python examples. For 'how to connect' pass a connection URi to the connection creation call instead of NULL/None there are examples http://libvirt.org/uri.html That should not be too hard, really, and if you can contribute back a simple C example for statistics extraction I will add it, that could help the next person !
