Geoff Hickey 5a6654f07a Generate libvirt constants from libvirt sources.
- Add a yacc-based parser and a hand-written lexer to read the
remote_protocol.x file from libvirt's sources.
- Use the new parser to generate the constants used to communicate with
libvirt.

libvirt GoDoc Build Status Report Card

Package libvirt provides a pure Go interface for interacting with Libvirt.

Rather than using Libvirt's C bindings, this package makes use of Libvirt's RPC interface, as documented here. Connections to the libvirt server may be local, or remote. RPC packets are encoded using the XDR standard as defined by RFC 4506.

This should be considered a work in progress. Most functionaly provided by the C bindings have not yet made their way into this library. Pull requests are welcome! The definition of the RPC protocol is in the libvirt source tree under src/rpc/virnetprotocol.x.

Feel free to join us in #go-qemu on freenode if you'd like to discuss the project.

Warning

The libvirt project strongly recommends against talking to the RPC interface directly. They consider it to be a private implementation detail with the possibility of being entirely rearchitected in the future.

While these package are reasonably well-tested and have seen some use inside of DigitalOcean, there may be subtle bugs which could cause the packages to act in unexpected ways. Use at your own risk!

In addition, the API is not considered stable at this time. If you would like to include package libvirt in a project, we highly recommend vendoring it into your project.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"net"
	"time"

	"github.com/digitalocean/go-libvirt"
)

func main() {
	//c, err := net.DialTimeout("tcp", "127.0.0.1:16509", 2*time.Second)
	//c, err := net.DialTimeout("tcp", "192.168.1.12:16509", 2*time.Second)
	c, err := net.DialTimeout("unix", "/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock", 2*time.Second)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to dial libvirt: %v", err)
	}

	l := libvirt.New(c)
	if err := l.Connect(); err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to connect: %v", err)
	}

	v, err := l.Version()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to retrieve libvirt version: %v", err)
	}
	fmt.Println("Version:", v)

	domains, err := l.Domains()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to retrieve domains: %v", err)
	}

	fmt.Println("ID\tName\t\tUUID")
	fmt.Printf("--------------------------------------------------------\n")
	for _, d := range domains {
		fmt.Printf("%d\t%s\t%x\n", d.ID, d.Name, d.UUID)
	}

	if err := l.Disconnect(); err != nil {
		log.Fatal("failed to disconnect: %v", err)
	}
}
