Re: [libvirt] libvirt library binary name for linux
?Well, as I have said I work on .Net/Mono bindings.
To make bindings, we use largely the marshaling methods of .Net/Mono. I was
working on bindings virConnectOpenAuth, so I have de marshal
virConnectCredential struct, these kind of thing. Matthias Bolte help me a
lot to make all the process thru callback working. And we have discover that
the virConnectCredential was reseted by the marshaling process (in
particular marshaling process free the result member of the
virConnectCredential, and in fact, for libvirt, it's the driver
responsability to free the result member). So Matthias suggest me to bind
strdup to .Net and use it to be sure that the result member is not freed by
marshaling. And it works. I know, it is not very elegant, and right now I'm
working on another possible solution thru custom marshaling (I hope it will
work). Anyway, As I plan to make bindings works for Mono and .Net, I have
made some tests with Mono/Windows Mono/Linux and .Net/Windows. And all seems
to work fine, I have made a sample application that connect to a ESX
hypervisor and list domains and it works fine, thanks for your help.
As you can see, I'm not a linux expert, and ldd and nm tools can help me to
find things, so thanks for these infos.

Hmmm, two tools might be useful, but I don't personally know them in
much depth:
+ ldd
+ nm
ldd can be used on an executable file, to show which dynamic libraries
that file needs. For example, if I have the program "/bin/bash":
$ ldd /bin/bash
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff999ff000)
libtinfo.so.5 => /lib64/libtinfo.so.5 (0x00000030cd600000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00000030bc200000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00000030bba00000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00000030bb600000)
The "nm" program, can be used on a dynamic library to show which
symbols it provides. For example, on /lib64/libc.so.6:
$ nm /lib64/libc.so.6
<snip>
00000030bbd7ba60 B __daylight
00000030bba2c550 T __dcgettext
00000030bba2c550 t __dcgettext_internal
00000030bba2d5e0 t __dcigettext
00000030bba2dfc0 t __dcngettext
00000030bba7c600 T __default_morecore
00000030bba33140 t __default_sigpause
00000030bba2c560 T __dgettext
00000030bba95be0 t __difftime
00000030bbb1e7c0 t __dl_iterate_phdr
00000030bba2dfd0 t __dngettext
00000030bba4f150 t __dprintf
<snip - it is a long list>
Both nm and ldd can be given options, which change what they display.
Looking at the questions you are asking, they are a bit unusual.
There is nothing _wrong_ with your questions, but they make me curious
what you are trying to do. If you are ok to explain the idea you are
trying, we might know of a better or easier way. (no guarantees
though!) :)
