22 {2 Introduction and examples}
24 This is a set of bindings for writing OCaml programs to
25 manage virtual machines through {{:http://libvirt.org/}libvirt}.
27 {3 Using libvirt interactively}
29 Using the interactive toplevel:
33 Objective Caml version 3.10.0
36 # #load "mllibvirt.cma";;
37 # let name = "test:///default";;
38 val name : string = "test:///default"
39 # let conn = Libvirt.Connect.connect_readonly ~name () ;;
40 val conn : Libvirt.ro Libvirt.Connect.t = <abstr>
41 # Libvirt.Connect.get_node_info conn;;
42 : Libvirt.Connect.node_info =
43 {Libvirt.Connect.model = "i686"; Libvirt.Connect.memory = 3145728L;
44 Libvirt.Connect.cpus = 16; Libvirt.Connect.mhz = 1400;
45 Libvirt.Connect.nodes = 2; Libvirt.Connect.sockets = 2;
46 Libvirt.Connect.cores = 2; Libvirt.Connect.threads = 2}
49 {3 Compiling libvirt programs}
51 This command compiles a program to native code:
54 ocamlopt -I +libvirt mllibvirt.cmxa list_domains.ml -o list_domains
57 {3 Example: Connect to the hypervisor}
59 The main modules are {!Libvirt.Connect}, {!Libvirt.Domain} and
60 {!Libvirt.Network} corresponding respectively to the
61 {{:http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html}virConnect*, virDomain* and virNetwork* functions from libvirt}.
62 For brevity I usually rename these modules like this:
65 module C = Libvirt.Connect
66 module D = Libvirt.Domain
67 module N = Libvirt.Network
70 To get a connection handle, assuming a Xen hypervisor:
74 let conn = C.connect_readonly ~name ()
77 {3 Example: List running domains}
82 let domains = D.get_domains conn [D.ListActive] in
85 printf "%8d %s\n%!" (D.get_id dom) (D.get_name dom)
89 {3 Example: List inactive domains}
92 let domains = D.get_domains conn [D.ListInactive] in
95 printf "inactive %s\n%!" (D.get_name dom)
99 {3 Example: Print node info}
102 let node_info = C.get_node_info conn in
103 printf "model = %s\n" node_info.C.model;
104 printf "memory = %Ld K\n" node_info.C.memory;
105 printf "cpus = %d\n" node_info.C.cpus;
106 printf "mhz = %d\n" node_info.C.mhz;
107 printf "nodes = %d\n" node_info.C.nodes;
108 printf "sockets = %d\n" node_info.C.sockets;
109 printf "cores = %d\n" node_info.C.cores;
110 printf "threads = %d\n%!" node_info.C.threads;
112 let hostname = C.get_hostname conn in
113 printf "hostname = %s\n%!" hostname;
115 let uri = C.get_uri conn in
116 printf "uri = %s\n%!" uri
122 (** {2 Programming issues}
124 {3 General safety issues}
126 Memory allocation / automatic garbage collection of all libvirt
127 objects should be completely safe. If you find any safety issues
128 or if your pure OCaml program ever segfaults, please contact the author.
130 You can force a libvirt object to be freed early by calling
131 the [close] function on the object. This shouldn't affect
132 the safety of garbage collection and should only be used when
133 you want to explicitly free memory. Note that explicitly
134 closing a connection object does nothing if there are still
135 unclosed domain or network objects referencing it.
137 Note that even though you hold open (eg) a domain object, that
138 doesn't mean that the domain (virtual machine) actually exists.
139 The domain could have been shut down or deleted by another user.
140 Thus domain objects can raise odd exceptions at any time.
141 This is just the nature of virtualisation.
143 {3 Backwards and forwards compatibility}
145 OCaml-libvirt is backwards and forwards compatible with
146 any libvirt >= 0.2.1. One consequence of this is that
147 your program can dynamically link to a {i newer} version of
148 libvirt than it was compiled with, and it should still
151 When we link to an older version of libvirt.so, there may
152 be missing functions. If ocaml-libvirt was compiled with
153 gcc, then these are turned into OCaml {!Libvirt.Not_supported}
156 We don't support libvirt < 0.2.1, and never will so don't ask us.
158 {3 Get list of domains and domain infos}
160 This is a very common operation, and libvirt supports various
161 different methods to do it. We have hidden the complexity in a
162 flexible {!Libvirt.Domain.get_domains} and
163 {!Libvirt.Domain.get_domains_and_infos} calls which is easy to use and
164 automatically chooses the most efficient method depending on the
165 version of libvirt in use.
169 You can issue multiple concurrent libvirt requests in
170 different threads. However you must follow this rule:
171 Each thread must have its own separate libvirt connection, {i or}
172 you must implement your own mutex scheme to ensure that no
173 two threads can ever make concurrent calls using the same
176 (Note that multithreaded code is not well tested. If you find
177 bugs please report them.)
181 Libvirt requires all callers to call virInitialize before
182 using the library. This is done automatically for you by
183 these bindings when the program starts up, and we believe
184 that the way this is done is safe.
190 (** This is a "raw" UUID, ie. a packed string of bytes. *)
193 (** Type of XML (an uninterpreted string of bytes). Use PXP, expat,
194 xml-light, etc. if you want to do anything useful with the XML.
197 type filename = string
200 val get_version : ?driver:string -> unit -> int * int
201 (** [get_version ()] returns the library version in the first part
202 of the tuple, and [0] in the second part.
204 [get_version ~driver ()] returns the library version in the first
205 part of the tuple, and the version of the driver called [driver]
208 The version numbers are encoded as
209 1,000,000 * major + 1,000 * minor + release.
212 val uuid_length : int
213 (** Length of packed UUIDs. *)
215 val uuid_string_length : int
216 (** Length of UUID strings. *)
221 {{:http://caml.inria.fr/pub/ml-archives/caml-list/2004/07/80683af867cce6bf8fff273973f70c95.en.html}phantom types}
222 are used to ensure the type-safety of read-only
223 versus read-write connections.
225 All connection/domain/etc. objects are marked with
226 a phantom read-write or read-only type, and trying to
227 pass a read-only object into a function which could
228 mutate the object will cause a compile time error.
230 Each module provides a function like {!Libvirt.Connect.const}
231 to demote a read-write object into a read-only object. The
232 opposite operation is, of course, not allowed.
234 If you want to handle both read-write and read-only
235 connections at runtime, use a variant similar to this:
239 | Read_only of Libvirt.ro Libvirt.Connect.t
240 | Read_write of Libvirt.rw Libvirt.Connect.t
242 See also the source of [mlvirsh].
