Currently the libvirt Go modules are accessed by applications using
their github repository URLs. This is undesirable as we don't want
applications to have a direct dependancy on a specific source repo
location. We want to enable applications to use the Go packages via
the
libvirt.org namespace.
When you do "go get
libvirt.org/libvirt-go", the Go client will do an
HTTPS request to that URL, and parse the HTML content to look for a
<meta> tag which tells it where to the find the GIT repository.
https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Remote_import_paths
This adds two pages to support this Go module resolution. They are
not linked from anywhere as we don't expect users to actually look
at them. If someone does happen upon them, there's some boilerplate
text to send them off to
godoc.org for API documentation.
Since the pages we're adding have a .html extension, we will also
use a small apache config tweak on the server

+Libvirt Go XML parsing API
+==========================
+
+The `Go <
https://golang.org/>`__ package ``libvirt.org/libvirt-go-xml`` provides
+annotated Go struct definitions for parsing (and formatting) XML documents used
+with libvirt APIs.

+=======================
+Libvirt Go Language API
+=======================
+
+The `Go <
https://golang.org/>`__ package ``libvirt.org/libvirt-go`` provides
+`CGo <
https://golang.org/cmd/cgo/>`__ binding from the OS native Libvirt API.
+
+In general the Go representation is a direct 1-1 mapping from native API
+concepts to Go, so the native API documentation should serve as a reference
+for most behaviour.
