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. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
