-This is a complete set of OCaml bindings around libvirt, exposing all
-known functionality to OCaml programs.
+virt-top is a top-like utility for showing stats of virtualized
+domains. Many keys and command line options are the same as for
+ordinary top.

-Requirements
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-PLEASE NOTE: The list of requirements looks long but you DO NOT NEED
-all of these packages, so pay careful attention to what is required
-('R') and what is optional ('O').
-
-ALSO NOTE: Binaries are available for many platforms. You only need
-the packages below if you want to build from source.

Building
./configure # Checks that you have all the required bits.
- make all # Builds the bytecode version of libs/programs.
- make opt # Builds the native code version of libs/programs.
-
- make install # Install in OCaml directory, and the binaries
- # in $prefix/bin.
-
- make doc # Build HTML documentation in html/ subdirectory.
-
-Then have a look at the programs 'mlvirsh.opt', 'virt-top.opt'
-and 'virt-ctrl.opt'.
-
-Note: If you want to run the programs without first installing, you
-may need to set your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable so it
-contains the build directory. eg:
-
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH=libvirt/ mlvirsh/mlvirsh.opt
-
-
-Windows
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-I have built libvirt (the bindings), examples, mlvirsh and virt-ctrl
-on Windows using the MinGW port of OCaml. It's quite likely that it
-will also work under VC++, but I have not tested this.
-
-You should make sure that your $PATH (environment variable) contains
-the names of the directories containing all required DLLs, in
-particular you will require:
-
- libvirt-*.dll (from libvirt)
- libgnutls-*.dll (from GnuTLS)
- libgcrypt-*.dll
- libgpg-error-*.dll
- libtasn1-*.dll
- libxdr.dll (from libxdr)
- libxml2-*.dll (from libxml2)
- and, a multitude of DLLs from GTK if you want to run virt-ctrl
-
-You can use a tool such as Dependency Walker to find/check the
-locations of dependent libraries.
-
-To build the Windows installer, you will need NSIS. Then do:
-
- ./configure --with-nsis=/c/Progra~1/NSIS
- make all opt
- make wininstaller
-
-This should build a Windows binary installer called
-ocaml-libvirt-$VERSION.exe which includes the bindings, all required
-DLLs and all programs that can be built under Windows.
-
-
-mlvirsh
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-'mlvirsh' is an almost complete reimplementation of virsh, which is
-mostly command compatible (there are a very few commands missing, and
-some commands have a slightly different syntax, but broadly speaking
-they are equivalent programs except that one is written in C and the
-other in OCaml).
-
-At the time of writing:
-
- wc -c wc -l
-
- virsh 126,056 4,641
- mlvirsh 19,427 598
-
- % size 15% 13%
-
-
-virt-ctrl
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-'virt-ctrl' (originally called 'mlvirtmanager') is a reimplementation
-of virt-manager in OCaml. It is not feature-complete by any means,
-but does allow you to show the running domains and start and stop
-defined domains. The main functionality _missing_ is the ability to
-define new virtual machines, change the resources allocated to
-domains, or show the machine console.
-
-
-Programming
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-For documentation on these bindings, read libvirt.mli and/or 'make
-doc' and browse the HTML documentation in the html/ subdirectory.
-
-For documentation on libvirt itself, see http://libvirt.org/html/
