The documentation of libvirt doesn't indicate which functions are for Xen or QEMU or both. The only way to know that, is by searching in libvirt sources. It would be interesting for libvirt users to add in the documentation, for each function, a mention such as "QEMU only", "Xen(TM) only", "QEMU and Xen(TM)", etc.. Regards.
