# The sysutils/libvirt port

## libvirt-1.3.5p4 – tool/library for managing platform virtualization

## Description

    Libvirt is collection of software that provides a convenient way to
    manage virtual machines and other virtualization functionality, such as
    storage and network interface management. These software pieces include
    an API library, a daemon (libvirtd), and a command line utility (virsh).

    Note that OpenBSD cannot act as a virtualization host yet, so libvirtd
    is not provided in this package.

    A primary goal of libvirt is to provide a single way to manage multiple
    different virtualization providers/hypervisors. For example, the command
    'virsh list --all' can be used to list the existing virtual machines for
    any supported hypervisor (KVM, Xen, VMWare ESX, etc.) No need to learn
    the hypervisor specific tools!
