[libvirt] [PATCH 1/3] Add a trivial example program

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This example code illustrates connecting to the hypervisor and making some simple API calls.

Added a little code to let the user specify the URI of the hypervisor on the command line, per the suggestion of Rich Jones.
