+ <h2><a name="Drivers">The libvirt Drivers</a></h2>
+ <p>Drivers are the basic building block for libvirt functionality
+ to support the capability to handle specific hypervisor driver calls.
+ Drivers are discovered and registered during connection processing as
+ part of the <code class='docref'>virInitialize</code> API. Each driver
+ has a registration API which loads up the driver specific function
+ references for the libvirt APIs to call. The following is a simplistic
+ view of the hypervisor driver mechanism. Consider the stacked list of
+ drivers as a series of modules that can be plugged into the architecture
+ depending on how libvirt is configured to be built.</p>

+ <p>The driver architecture is also used to support other virtualization
+ components such as storage, storage pools, host device, networking,
+ network interfaces, and network filters.</p>
+ <p>See the <a href="drivers.html">libvirt drivers</a> page for more
+ information on hypervisor and storage specific drivers.</p>
+ <p>Not all drivers support every virtualization function possible.

+ support was added into libvirt.
