Xen devel - Jan 2012 - 回复： [help] Who's the author of libxc? I don't know howto start with it

Thanks.
    I have already previewed the xenctrl.h. 
    The following is what I understand: libxc is compiled to a file name after
'xc**' endding with '.so', xend communicates with domain0
through xc and domain0 communicates with hypervisor through privcmd.
    What's the privcmd?

libxc acts as intermediate between userspace and hypervisor. I think you
can first take a look at its exported header file -- xenctrl.h , so that
you can have a rough idea about its functionalities. The you can pick
whatever functionality you are interested in and dig deeper.

Please don't top-posting.

And I strongly recommend you use Gmail (or other proper mail clients),
because QQmail messes up threads.

libxc is not a standalone program you can call. xend has a python
module to expose libxc functionalities to python.

If you are using newer xen, you probably want to change to xl
toolstack.

It is short for "privileged command" I think. It is the entry point to
kernel space when you want to issue a hypercall.
