hi,
i am started to exploring libvirt. i am using the version libvirt-1.1.3 and i want to know (or) find the path how the libvirt is creating VM with xen (libxl) in the source. Any guide or reference is available for this. How i can find the path of calling sequence for other operations(api). Guide me to get some idea on debugging the libvirt.
libxl interaction lives in the src/libxl subdirectory. That code is only run by libvirtd, but if you build with './autogen.sh --system', you can then stop the system libvirtd and use './run gdb daemon/libvirtd' to do normal debugger operations wherever you'd like in that part of the code.
