virtualization daemon

 libvirt exposes a long-term stable API that can be used to interact with
 various hypervisors. Its architecture is highly modular, with most features
 implemented as optional drivers. It can be used from C as well as several
 other programming languages, and it forms the basis of virtualization
 solutions tailored for a range of use cases.
 .
 This package contains the libvirtd daemon, which needs to run on the
 hypervisor host.
 .
 Note that the daemon doesn't do anything useful on its own: connection
 drivers (e.g. libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu) have to be installed to give it
 the ability to create domains using various virtualization technologies,
 while secondary drivers (e.g. libvirt-daemon-driver-network) make it
 capable of managing other related resources.
