Yes, libvirt is responsible for both libvirt.so (the client code
[src/remote/*], which bundles the RPC request to send to libvirtd) and
for libvirtd (the daemon code [daemon/*], which receives the RPC request
and then calls into the qemu driver code [src/qemu/*] to act on the
request).

If you use Fedora or RHEL, it is the installation of the 'libvirt'
package that installs libvirtd as a service, and therefore the service
mechanism (systemd or initd) that fires off libvirtd when you boot.
