   {2 Introduction and examples}

   This is a set of bindings for writing OCaml programs to
   manage virtual machines through {{:http://libvirt.org/}libvirt}.

   {3 Using libvirt interactively}

   Using the interactive toplevel:

{v
$ ocaml -I +libvirt
        Objective Caml version 3.10.0

# #load "unix.cma";;
# #load "mllibvirt.cma";;
# let name = "test:///default";;
val name : string = "test:///default"
# let conn = Libvirt.Connect.connect_readonly ~name () ;;
val conn : Libvirt.ro Libvirt.Connect.t = <abstr>
# Libvirt.Connect.get_node_info conn;;
  : Libvirt.Connect.node_info =
{Libvirt.Connect.model = "i686"; Libvirt.Connect.memory = 3145728L;
 Libvirt.Connect.cpus = 16; Libvirt.Connect.mhz = 1400;
 Libvirt.Connect.nodes = 2; Libvirt.Connect.sockets = 2;
 Libvirt.Connect.cores = 2; Libvirt.Connect.threads = 2}
v}

   {3 Compiling libvirt programs}

   This command compiles a program to native code:

{v
ocamlopt -I +libvirt mllibvirt.cmxa list_domains.ml -o list_domains
v}

   {3 Example: Connect to the hypervisor}

   The main modules are {!Libvirt.Connect}, {!Libvirt.Domain} and
   {!Libvirt.Network} corresponding respectively to the
   {{:http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html}virConnect*, virDomain* and virNetwork* functions from libvirt}.
   For brevity I usually rename these modules like this:

{[
module C = Libvirt.Connect
module D = Libvirt.Domain
module N = Libvirt.Network
]}

   To get a connection handle, assuming a Xen hypervisor:

{[
let name = "xen:///"
let conn = C.connect_readonly ~name ()
]}

   {3 Example: List running domains}

{[
open Printf

let domains = D.get_domains conn [D.ListActive] in
List.iter (
  fun dom ->
    printf "%8d %s\n%!" (D.get_id dom) (D.get_name dom)
) domains;
]}

   {3 Example: List inactive domains}

{[
let domains = D.get_domains conn [D.ListInactive] in
List.iter (
  fun dom ->
    printf "inactive %s\n%!" (D.get_name dom)
) domains;
]}

   {3 Example: Print node info}

{[
let node_info = C.get_node_info conn in
printf "model = %s\n" node_info.C.model;
printf "memory = %Ld K\n" node_info.C.memory;
printf "cpus = %d\n" node_info.C.cpus;
printf "mhz = %d\n" node_info.C.mhz;
printf "nodes = %d\n" node_info.C.nodes;
printf "sockets = %d\n" node_info.C.sockets;
printf "cores = %d\n" node_info.C.cores;
printf "threads = %d\n%!" node_info.C.threads;

let hostname = C.get_hostname conn in
printf "hostname = %s\n%!" hostname;

let uri = C.get_uri conn in
printf "uri = %s\n%!" uri
]}

*)


(** {2 Programming issues}

    {3 General safety issues}

    Memory allocation / automatic garbage collection of all libvirt
    objects should be completely safe.  If you find any safety issues
    or if your pure OCaml program ever segfaults, please contact the author.

    You can force a libvirt object to be freed early by calling
    the [close] function on the object.  This shouldn't affect
    the safety of garbage collection and should only be used when
    you want to explicitly free memory.  Note that explicitly
    closing a connection object does nothing if there are still
    unclosed domain or network objects referencing it.

    Note that even though you hold open (eg) a domain object, that
    doesn't mean that the domain (virtual machine) actually exists.
    The domain could have been shut down or deleted by another user.
    Thus domain objects can raise odd exceptions at any time.
    This is just the nature of virtualisation.

    {3 Backwards and forwards compatibility}

    OCaml-libvirt is backwards and forwards compatible with
    any libvirt >= 0.2.1.  One consequence of this is that
    your program can dynamically link to a {i newer} version of
    libvirt than it was compiled with, and it should still
    work.

    When we link to an older version of libvirt.so, there may
    be missing functions.  If ocaml-libvirt was compiled with
    gcc, then these are turned into OCaml {!Libvirt.Not_supported}
    exceptions.

    We don't support libvirt < 0.2.1, and never will so don't ask us.

    {3 Get list of domains and domain infos}

    This is a very common operation, and libvirt supports various
    different methods to do it.  We have hidden the complexity in a
    flexible {!Libvirt.Domain.get_domains} and
    {!Libvirt.Domain.get_domains_and_infos} calls which is easy to use and
    automatically chooses the most efficient method depending on the
    version of libvirt in use.

    {3 Threads}

    You can issue multiple concurrent libvirt requests in
    different threads.  However you must follow this rule:
    Each thread must have its own separate libvirt connection, {i or}
    you must implement your own mutex scheme to ensure that no
    two threads can ever make concurrent calls using the same
    libvirt connection.

    (Note that multithreaded code is not well tested.  If you find
    bugs please report them.)

    {3 Initialisation}

    Libvirt requires all callers to call virInitialize before
    using the library.  This is done automatically for you by
    these bindings when the program starts up, and we believe
    that the way this is done is safe.

    {2 Reference}
*)

type uuid = string
    (** This is a "raw" UUID, ie. a packed string of bytes. *)

type xml = string
    (** Type of XML (an uninterpreted string of bytes).  Use PXP, expat,
	xml-light, etc. if you want to do anything useful with the XML.
    *)

type filename = string
    (** A filename. *)

val get_version : ?driver:string -> unit -> int * int
  (** [get_version ()] returns the library version in the first part
      of the tuple, and [0] in the second part.

      [get_version ~driver ()] returns the library version in the first
      part of the tuple, and the version of the driver called [driver]
      in the second part.

      The version numbers are encoded as
      1,000,000 * major + 1,000 * minor + release.
  *)

val uuid_length : int
  (** Length of packed UUIDs. *)

val uuid_string_length : int
  (** Length of UUID strings. *)

type rw = [`R|`W]
type ro = [`R]
    (** These
	{{:http://caml.inria.fr/pub/ml-archives/caml-list/2004/07/80683af867cce6bf8fff273973f70c95.en.html}phantom types}
	are used to ensure the type-safety of read-only
	versus read-write connections.

	All connection/domain/etc. objects are marked with
	a phantom read-write or read-only type, and trying to
	pass a read-only object into a function which could
	mutate the object will cause a compile time error.

	Each module provides a function like {!Libvirt.Connect.const}
	to demote a read-write object into a read-only object.  The
	opposite operation is, of course, not allowed.

	If you want to handle both read-write and read-only
	connections at runtime, use a variant similar to this:
{[
type conn_t =
    | No_connection
    | Read_only of Libvirt.ro Libvirt.Connect.t
    | Read_write of Libvirt.rw Libvirt.Connect.t
]}
