[Please don't top-post on technical lists]
i am new to these source things. i am seeing large number of files and
every things new to me. Any guide is available for how to debug the libvirt
source.
A good resource is to understand this file:
http://libvirt.org/hacking.html
For example: i want to know how vm's are created by libvirt daemon. From
where i have to start. Any guide or suggestions.
Explore the web page - there's some overviews on pages such as:
http://libvirt.org/goals.html
http://libvirt.org/api.html
Or set breakpoints in libvirtd, and trace a call to one of the public
APIs. For example, if you use 'virsh -c $uri start $dom' to start a xen
domain, you can run libvirtd under gdb, put a breakpoint on
virDomainCreate() and step on through the code to see what is involved
in starting a xen guest.
