[libvirt] Guidelines for implementing a hypervisor driver

Hey, I couldn't find any documentation about how to implement a driver for a new hypervisor, does something like that exist? Best regards, Christian Loehle

I think the best way to understand, how to implement a driver, is learning test driver code (src/test in libvirt's tree).

Besides Dmitry's valid piece of advice, there's been a driver added recently. Firstly it was named parallels, then it was renamed to vz. If you use git log, it may give you some hint how to begin. In this particular case you are aiming at cafc26ff5f401c31b5f9d6d60a4f8d54cfce27ca and its children (e.g. e93c33a987023c750e8806206266c0a75f8cad3b). Michal
